...current attacks on Nixon. He shrugs them off, maintaining brightly that he has a good chance of getting the nomination on the fourth or fifth ballot. His confidence gets him over spots that would trip a man without it. Nixon, for instance, can be thrown off stride. In Newark recently, a tongue-tied toastmaster introduced "the next President of the United States, Snik Dix?er?Dick Nixon." Result: the candidate's delivery fell off. In a similar situation, Rockefeller might have guffawed...
...revolver. Ultimately in Los Angeles, the decision is left up to the individual cop. Two hundred marksmen have been assigned to a squad named S.W.A.T. (Special Weapons and Tactics), designed to pick off snipers and to eliminate, presumably, the need for indiscriminate police gunfire, which took innocent victims in Newark and Detroit last year. On the target range they can hit the head of a man's silhouette at 300 yards. A $25,000 trailer has been fitted out as a mobile command post, with an armored underside to fend off Molotov cocktails, and a smaller van is available...
...result, ground hang-ups often consume more of a passenger's time than the 50-minute shuttle flight from New York to Washington. In the New York-New Jersey area, the Port Authority, which runs the airports, is spending $425 million to expand Kennedy, La Guardia and Newark airports and is meanwhile seeking a site for one more all-new superport. Boston also needs another airfield, whose cost will be over and above the $225 million now allotted to expand Logan International. Pittsburgh, with traffic up 25% in one year, has earmarked $11,800,000 for immediate expansion. Altogether...

Born in Newark in 1906, he graduated from Penn in 1928, and Harvard Law in 1931, and became first a labor lawyer and later a judge in New Jersey. At an alumni luncheon at Harvard Law School yesterday, Brennan cited a breakdown in communication between dissenters and the decision-makers in this country...
...takes the form of a series of monologues ranted by a patient at his psychoanalyst. The patient is a 34-year-old bachelor named Alexander Portnoy, high-school honor student from Newark, first in his law-school class, and now assistant human-rights commissioner in New York City. At first glance, the chronicle of Portnoy's pain, rooted as it is in Jewishness and the urban environment, may appear to have only specialized appeal, but Roth gives it a universality that reaches beyond ethnic boundaries. It is a coda of rage and savagely honest self-lashing reminiscent...
