...would like to congratulate Governor Reagan and the board of regents for an excellent decision in terminating Dr. Clark Kerr as president of that institution. I feel certain that, had the ex-president used a little forethought and restraint, the demonstrations of recent years might not have occurred...
Most of the people who go to see Miss Bieberman at PIC, however, just want to take drugs for kicks. "They consider themselves irresponsible, self-defeating, naughty," she says.

As an everyday commuter along this route, I am gratified to know that I am not the only driver confounded, cantankerous and confused about this ineptness and lack of forethought of highway planning. If the pile-ups at the U-turns continue, it'll be "Spook's Hill" instead of Pook's Hill. In all of this mess of spaghetti, they produced a heck of a meatball...
