...Florida Championship in the Clarion Master Modulator contest, with prizes including a CB radio and antenna, plus a chance to compete for the grand prize of a Datsun 280Z, a $5,000 personal appearance contract and an all-expenses-paid vacation for two in London. Sample: "Amigo, knock the slack out, turn on your ears to the 40-channel maximum, legal power ... Stop walkin' the dog, gettin' bad scenes, signal dropout and bleedovers. Why be a tweakie...
...idea is to delay for a year increases in the federal minimum wage-from $2.65 an hour to $2.90-and in Social Security taxes scheduled for January.

According to one frequently heard scenario, the right and the left will knock each other off and a moderate will emerge as the winner?an Italian moderate. The trouble with that scenario is that two clearly defined blocs no longer exist. Paul made the Sacred College in his own image, and he shunned the extremes.
