...never has. Over the years, most commissioners have gone into or served as lawyers for the broadcasting industry once they left the FCC. Even if they had been eager to bite the hand that promised to feed them, the commissioners never had sufficient funds to monitor stations properly. Only lately, under the prodding of Nicholas Johnson and a few other activist commissioners, has there been a change. Last January Boston station WHDH-TV lost its license for several reasons, including the other media interests of its owner. And last August, an FCC hearing examiner recommended the suspension...
...wage differential between "chefs" and "first cooks" is justified. The chefs, who have had professional training, are responsible for feeding considerably larger numbers of students than are the first cooks. In North House, which uses chefs, teams of four feed approximately 450 students or 112 per cook. In East and South Houses, with first cooks, teams of four feed approximately 250 students or 62 per cook...

What beuer abodes could there be for the thousand upon thousand small-time bureaucrats and journalists that feed upon the beleaguered operation of the state? Washington reeks of lower-echelon bureaucracy. Just as Cambridge reeks of Aeademia and cheap repression and Manhattan of the sham-Literati and Brahmin businessmen, so Washington labors under an oppressive cloud of paperwork and promotions...
...front until everyone had eaten his fill. But even after the hunger and thirst had been satiated, the supply line continued to bring food as if life were indeed dependent upon it. The fact that an unorganized group which had somehowcome together in a common cause was able to feed itself, set up lines of communication, muster lawyers and doctors to the scene was a source of a great deal of pride to many of the demonstrators...
...enemies that it can roam almost anywhere. Plagued by other recent invaders-the Bufo toad from Central America and the Asian walking catfish-Florida biologists are reluctant to import any anti-snail predators, such as the India glowworm, the hermit crab, or even more Bufos, which are known to feed on the young snails. Instead, they have begun careful spraying with insecticide (granules of metaldehyde mixed with tricalcium arsenide). So far, the chemical warfare seems effective. But the snail threat will not abate until the last Achatina is vanquished-which is hardly an immediate prospect...
