...Short. The I.A.C.P. found the Baltimore force wanting in almost every particular, from organization and administration to the manners of meter maids (surly) and the size of billy clubs (too long). Administration was so poor, the study said, that the night shift, which had a 40% heavier work load than the day shift, actually had 17% fewer men. The force is so slothful that an aggrieved Baltimorean cannot even be sure that his complaint will be recorded, much less acted on.

To that end, he laid out an astonishingly demanding list of domestic legislative proposals (see box, next page) for the 89th Congress, which had already set a record for bill passing during its hard-working first session and had looked for a light load this time around...

But their love is palpable-the book itself is a retool job on an earlier book published in 1959-and the DC-3's legend...
...present appointment. I replied that this all depended on what other possibilities were available. I then proceded to outline the sort of considerations involved in making a choice for a teaching job. Salary was only one factor: the quality of the student body, the leave system, teaching load, location were others. Especially important for me was the adequacy of the research facilities. I concluded my remarks on this by saying that a school without adequate research facilities could offer me a large salary, even $20,000, and I would not accept...
