...without any educational leaders since the era of Horace Mann. The present school committee won election in 1975 with 3 moderates taking control. They no longer publicly race-bait and plunder the system in the fashion of their predecessors, but David I. Finegan. John McDonough and Kathleen Sullivan have proven to be a disappointment. Unpaid school committee membership is usually regarded as a springboard for higher office; with visions of the mayoralty dancing in their heads, the committee members failed to rise above the soap box and job recommendation mentality...
...have never gone into the districts in a systematic political way and a consumer bill is our ultimate litmus paper test issue." Green stated at the outset of the Nickel Campaign. "At this point we're beyond the merits of the bill, which are considerable but which have not proven enough. We are now working on the politics." Friday night just before the campaign was officially underway, Nader complained to Green when another member of the staff left the office...
...Pacific Gas and Electric and Texas Eastern Corp., banded together in what seemed like an unbeatable consortium called the Arctic Gas Pipeline Project.

It would begin at the Alaskan field of Prudhoe Bay (proven reserves of 26 trillion cu. ft., enough to supply current U.S. needs for more than a year) and follow the northern coastline to Canada's Mackenzie Bay deposits before heading south to carry...

The New Yorkers kicked and clawed their way through four play-off rounds en route to the championship. In the end, it was an unheralded Briton named Steve Hunt-not Pelé-who led the Cosmos...
...have an undeniable appeal. Everyone loves the little guy who overcomes tremendous odds to become a hero, right? If any more of these films are made, the theme will be beaten to a hasty death, which seems inevitable (and desirable) since Hollywood will only risk money on a proven formula; witness the endless sequels to witless movies that bring in the bucks. Benson will probably come up with Son of One on One next year and follow that with One on One Meets Godzilla, or something equally inane...
