While Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke's personal and legal problems were dooming him to defeat, voters installed another new face, Democrat Edward J. King, 53, as Governor. One of the most conservative Democrats elected anywhere outside the South, King had trouble getting support from Bay State liberals, and received only the most lukewarm endorsements from Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter. But King had the advantage of running with Thomas P. O'Neill III, 34, who was seeking the lieutenant governorship and who happens to be the son of Tip O'Neill, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. With...
...lives in South Africa. The Dutch Reform Church has a firm grip on the Afrikaans populations, at least here in the heart of the Transvaal. And it has no qualms about legislating morality: there seems to be a need to prove that whites are morally superior, to justify their legal and economic control of the country. No drinking or soccer on Sundays; no pornography (though pictures of bikini-clad women are splashed everywhere in this incredibly macho society); and, of course, no interracial sex.

...expecting the MBTA to extend the line all the way to Rte. 128, something it is not financially equipped to do today, they should probably think again. But if the MBTA plans to extend the Red Line to the Alewife area, it can not ignore citizens' moral and legal claims. The MBTA may be gambling with all its chips if it does not perform a supplementary EIS before a federal district court orders one. Cambridge citizens are gambling another EIS would reject the MBTA's current plans, and when Cambridge citizens sit down at the table and deal, they...
