...magic formula to solve the problems the museum is bound to cause. Time after time critics of the library development were warned by the Kennedy Corporation, "wait until the impact statement is done. We will abide by that and we hope you will too." An engineering firm, C.E. Maguire Inc., short on experience with environmental work but with a long list of political connections, was contracted to do the sensitive environmental study. At that point there was a little grumbling heard to the effect that the study might well be fixed in favor of Kennedy interests. Then, suddenly, the community...
...around the time of Maguire's troubles the Kennedy Library Corporation's faith in the Maguire impact study was shaken. They turned to Arthur D. Little, the consultant firm, and asked them to do a private study. But the federal General Services Administration has expressed its confidence in Maguire Inc., and they will continue to employ them to write the authoritative report.

At home, Merle is a somewhat casual father of four children, but he is not at the mansion all that often either. "Maybe it's too fancy or something," says Bonnie. Whatever it is, Haggard tends to drop...
...wives of blue-collar men. In a working-class section of Brooklyn, a group of twelve housewives from families earning roughly $12,000 a year meet weekly in a consciousness-raising group to examine their traditional lifestyles. A nationwide survey of 660 women conducted last year by Social Research Inc., an independent market-research company, found a radical shift in the attitudes of blue-collar workers' wives over the past decade. These women no longer automatically accept the notion that they must stay at home and be subservient to their husbands. Many of the women surveyed confess that...
