...inning with a bunt single, and one out later Dave St. Pierre (2 hits, 2 RBIs), Jim Thomas, Don Driscoll and Leon Goetz all singled, one after the other. Ed Durso also had a base hit one out after that, his second of three hits on the afternoon. Needless to say, Royal did not appear on the mound at the start of the seventh...
...battle for the spotlight, needless debate over procedures, politically-oriented resolutions and unnecessary exchanges of insults do the citizens of Cambridge no good. Perhaps Danehy's post-mayoral election anger will subside soon. Then the council can get down to the pressing business of running the city
...continuing ironies of Watergate is that Richard Nixon has become increasingly entangled in the scandal largely through a needless and voluntary creation of his own: his secret system for recording nearly all of his official conversations.

If he is finally forced out of office, it may well be largely due to those telltale tapes. Nearly forgotten in the endless struggles over access to those recordings is the question...
...foolish to assume trained corporate analysts (Derek Bok, F. Skiddy Von Stage) are merely basing this decision on ideology. Nonesense, they are basing on statistics that indicate that in 20 years Harvard males (that means us!) will give more than females. And the sad part is they are right.

The children, needless to say, are adorable. They are rendered all the more touching by the superintendent of an inhumane school system and an inflexible principal (the former represented by Hume Cronyn in one of his patented portrayals of the small in spirit; the latter played with a not unsympathetic strength by Madge...
