...conventional explanation DFL-ers gave for jettisoning Rolvaag was his "bad image." The governor unquestionably appears dour, remote, and uninspiring to the public. His face looks terrible on television, and he is a nervous public speaker who mumbles choppy, barely coherent answers when grilled on panel shows...
Worth the Agony. In the finals, performed last week with the Fort Worth symphony in the Will Rogers Memorial Auditorium, each contestant played the first movement of Prokofiev's Second Piano Concerto and one of two Beethoven concertos. A computer tallied the scores of the international panel of 17 judges, but the announcement of the results had to be delayed while contest officials frantically searched for Radu Lupu.

This is something of a first, since typical government surveys of the process, such as the one begun two years ago by the Defense Department, usually view things from military perspective. The Defense Department study, for example, suggested that 18- and 19-year olds be drafted before older men in order to minimize disruption in career plans; more important, it concluded that a completely volunteer army would be impossible unless the defense budget...
