...Election Commission's treatment of the Cambridge Committee for Voter Registration (CCVR) has been shoddy. It took CCVR mill-ins (at the end of July and the beginning of September) to get the Commission to open its offices for voter registration during evening hours. Election Commission members have reacted to the CCVR with annoyance rather than appreciation...
...characteristic of Muskie to emphasize expertise rather than ideology. His Maine background enforced a sense of the practical. The son of a Polish immigrant tailor who anglicized the family name from Marciszewski, Muskie grew up in the mill town of Rumford. Fifty miles from the sea, Rumford is not part of the Maine that Americans see on postcards or during holidays.

The recent settlement with the United Steel Workers will cost more than $1 billion in extra wages and fringe benefits during...

After the death of his father in 1958, Madhvani, an Indian, became the main driving force behind 63 companies worth $56 million in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. Credited with building East Africa's first steel mill, the soft-spoken Hindu also served as globetrotting eco-nomic ambassador for the region. "We don't want history to say," he once observed, "that we lagged behind when the need for economic development was so great...
