Heekey (5-3-2)--The icers have so far had the fallest schedule of any of the Yardling squads. Their biggest weakness is defense, as witnessed by the close 3-6 victory over New Prep last Saturday. Despite this flaw, only two total disasters have befallen the team, a 7-3 rout by B.C. and an 3-3 massacre by B.U. The squad's only other loss, to Mxeter, 5-4, came in overtime...
This neat reasoning has one major flaw. Where a publisher has the field to himself, his newspaper can be a mediocre hodgepodge of rural obits on the front page, disjointed wire-service pieces, syndicated advice columns, plus a heavy dose of detailed high school sports coverage. Yet it will blanket the area, carry all the advertising the marketplace can afford, and make as much money as any Pulitzer prizewinner would in the same situation...
...Fatal Flaw. Such a novel, if it is to be any good, must be a study in the nature of power and the behavior of those who seek it.

It was not the sin of a city or of its citizens. It was not a tragedy that struck from some dark stain...
...major flaw in City Politics results from the size of the authors' task. In order to make general observations about all cities they have discussed exciting figures such as Laguardia, Curley, Moses, Hague, Murphy, and DeSapio only as examples of various aspects of politics, not as individuals. Not only are these men interesting, but they have also assumed essential roles in determining the political processes of their cities. In attempting to deal with all cities, Banfield and Wilson have distilled away an essential ingredient of urban politics: the ability of individual politicians to change the political nature of their...
