The laws against homosexual acts also suggest that the nation cares more about enforcing private morality than it does about preventing violent crime. To be sure, it is likely that a more permissive atmosphere might convince many people, particularly adolescents, that a homosexual urge need not be resisted since the condition would, after all, be "respectable...

A key factor was the Maine Times, a plucky weekly newspaper that lambasted the developers and explained precisely how their plans could pollute Trenton's air, land and water...
...already spread into hotels (Sheraton), car renting (Avis), home building (Levitt & Sons), book publishing (Bobbs-Merrill) and bread (Continental Baking). Why would this aggressive giant want slow-moving Hartford Fire? One likely reason is that the insurance company has a valuable portfolio of securities that might be used to produce handsome capital gains for the merged companies...
