...Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for that proposal. The Red Line Alert, a coalition of three neighborhood groups, has filed suit in federal district court, charging that the MBTA violated three federal statutes by applying the old EIS to its new extension plans. The Cambridge City Council has voted to join this suit. Any delays in construction, the MBTA promises, will mean losses of $3 million a month and may jeopardize a half billion dollars in federal funds earmarked for the project. The MBTA has stated that construction will begin. The result of all this: a legal battle...

Joining such other former British colonies as Jamaica and the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the poor little paradises of the Caribbean could form a bloc with as many votes as all of South America...
...Mirror was the very model of restraint, running only its usual page 7 pinup. Chairman Percy Roberts had been quoted as promising, "The Daily Mirror will not go down into the gutter to join the war between the Star and the Sun.' Some Britons thought the Mirror had been somewhere in that vicinity all along, however, and the Star's London editor, Peter McKay, snorted, "Humbug...
