...about 100 letters a week about the aircraft, 80% of them opposed. Now he gets 450 letters a week about the SST-and 80% are favorable. A particular target is the plane's most effective opponent, Wisconsin Senator William Proxmire. Backers have passed out bumper stickers intended to punish Proxmire on his home turf.

Yet nobody dies of semantic aphasia, and by and large it gets complained about with a low-priority...

The law service is being shut down in June, largely because the government's lawyer, Guy Goodwin, filed a complaint against it in Washington. Goodwin has also threatened to prosecute the defense lawyers for obstructing justice because they advised their clients to remain silent...
