...Thrust in Antitrust Sheer size becomes a target as tough new bills are pressed on Capitol Hill...
...meeting occurred just as antitrust was being pushed beyond its old boundaries on Capitol Hill and in the courts. Last week the Senate Judiciary Committee approved the so-called Illinois Brick Bill by a 9-to-8 vote, led by Chairman Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts. Prospects for passage in the full Senate and House are doubtful, but, if enacted, the bill would overturn a 1977 Supreme Court decision. Not only could middlemen and retailers sue and collect treble damages from a company for antitrust violations, but so too could individual consumers who join together in class actions. Businessmen fear that...
Once considered over the hill, Esposito has ranged up and down the ice as he did in the glory days at Boston, when he set a single-season scoring record of 76 goals and 76 assists.

After the vote, Superintendent Hill took a deep breath and wrote a five-year plan for the district calling for the closing of four school buildings (out of 18) and the trimming of $2.4 million in staff and program costs. Hill was prepared for a bitter debate on his plan. In 1975 he presided over the closing of three elementary schools. "You don't make friends closing schools," he says. Parents and teachers quickly organized to fight for the schools on Hill's new list. Throughout January and February, during the coldest and snowiest winter in Evanston...
