State Sen. William Golden (D-Weymouth), one of the most vocal critics of Pilgrim, said, "It appears that the new management is having no better success than the old in safely operating the plant." Golden blasted Edison for what he called a "bunker mentality" in delaying until yesterday the reporting of potential safety violations that occurred over the weekend...
Henry Adams remarked after the Civil War that anyone wishing to disprove Darwin's theory had only to trace the evolution of the American presidency from George Washington to Ulysses Grant. Americans have often cherished a sort of golden-age theory of the presidency. They look back on, say, Harry Truman and John Kennedy as historical giants. In fact, neither man looked all that imposing when he was in the White House. Truman was often vilified as an undistinguished little haberdasher, utterly unfit to succeed a demigod like Franklin Roosevelt. Those underwhelmed by the current presidential candidates might remember that...
...Hooperman and The "Slap" Maxwell Story and CBS's Frank's Place -- are ostensibly comedies, but they go for few jokes and have no laughter on the sound track. As for the more traditional sitcoms, they are tackling such heavy subjects as AIDS (Designing Women), Alzheimer's disease (The Golden Girls) and teenage drunk driving (this week's segment of Valerie's Family).

Unfortunately, the improvising can often sound tinny and unconvincing. In a September episode of The Golden Girls, Sophia (Estelle Getty) met an old gent on a park bench, then discovered that her new friend had Alzheimer's disease.

Enter the microbreweries -- small local producers who generally turn out no more than 15,000 bbl. a year (in contrast to Anheuser-Busch's 72.3 million- bbl. ocean sold last year) and whose brews are primarily intended for regional consumption. For lovers of the yeasty, golden suds, this is good news. It | means that beer can be fresh and natural, made with only the essentials: water, malted barley, hops and yeast. And because of their limited distribution, microbrewers can turn out distinctive flavors. Before Prohibition, hundreds of breweries existed in the U.S. But after the repeal only large producers could...
