What was not said may finally be more important than anything uttered on the Cleveland stage by the two quiz show contestants. Few people quarrel with the ultimate goals of Reagan and Carter. But how do we get there? Our Government no longer works, and for four years Carter has proved it; yet he offered not one shred of evidence how he would improve his record, given a second lease on the White House.

Don't bother calling them bloodless assholes, because they think that being bloodless is a virtue. They may even...
...original settlers would have used, will said up the Charles to re-enact the city's founding. A procession to Winthrop Square for speeches and ceremonies will follow. People to watch include Gov. Edward J. King, Lt. Gov. Thomas P. O'Neill III (incidentally, Gov. John Winthrop used to quarrel with his lieutenant, Deputy Governor Dudley) and Mayor Francis H. Duehay '55 who will speak on current issues in local government...
