...York Times Magazine. Actually, the more people get, says Wilson, the more they demand. "Competition for leadership among dissident groups will inevitably generate ever more extreme demands faster than less extreme requests are filled."

Last week the aftereffects of that same injury finally ended one of the most flamboyant careers in U.S. sport. Complaining that the arthritis in his hip "has progressed to the point where I simply cannot move about quickly enough on the sidelines," the most successful head coach in pro football retired and turned the job over...

The city of Springfield, in addition, will now get $105,000 a year in tax money from the operation besides being freed of $322,000 in the annual costs of the institute when it was being operated as a city school...
