...Government and the state government step in and help, I doubt very much whether there is any kind of a future for the city of Newark." Said San Francisco's Mayor Joseph Alioto: "We have the problems and everybody else has the money." They see at least a partial answer to their current budgetary woes in the commission's recommendations, many of which call for large infusions of federal funds to the cities...
Kennedy's candidacy has obvious advantages. The former attorney general is an experienced national campaigner who managed his late brother's Presidential victory in 1960.

Italians, on the other hand, are partial to individualistic vocalism that is sensually beautiful as well as expressive. This record leans toward the Italian style. Renata Tebaldi, Robert Merrill, Marilyn Home and Carlo Bergonzi are all equipped with voluptuous voices singing this perennial "singers' opera," complete with massive arias and roof-hitting dramatics. Tebaldi, the star of them all, has compensated for the loss of the famous velvet...
