...said it seems counterproductive for the city to destroy a money-saving agency while it tries to economize, but White's vice-mayor Edward T. Sullivan said last month, "Nothing comes to mind where they have saved money." Under the stewardship of Garguilo and her predecessor, Real Paper publisher Ralph Fine, the finance commission regularly reviewed the city's $55 million mrth of no-bid contracts, exposed the Boston Housing Authority and Real Property Department for incompetence, and found city officials pressuring employees for donations to White's reelection campaign...
...problems facing Jimmy Carter in selling his energy program. The President based his case for urgent conservation efforts partly on a CIA study that forecasts serious world petroleum shortages and economic upheavals as early as the mid-1980s. No sooner had he stopped speaking, however, than critics-most notably Ralph Nader-began contending that the U.S., and the world, contains more oil than Carter seems to think. If that idea takes hold with the public, the President can scarcely hope to rally the U.S. for the "moral equivalent of war" against energy waste...
...characters, however, smolder without burning. Fiona Cleary spends an extended lifetime being a "very unhappy woman" because of the married man she loved and lost in her youth.

She cannot restrain herself from adding, "What a father you'd have made, Father!" Alas, Ralph is wedded to the Roman Catholic Church. He loves Meggie but he cannot throw away his vows. Meggie...
...Ralph Nader rather irresponsibly voiced doubt that there is any energy crisis: he asserted that "we have far more oil and gas in this country than the oil industry is officially willing to recognize." His argument is difficult to refute conclusively; the Government itself is dissatisfied with figures on the size of U.S. energy resources (TIME, April 18). Yet neither point makes much difference for policy. World oil reserves assuredly are finite, even if they might last a bit longer than the CIA thinks. Moreover, part of Nader's argument is that vast quantities of natural gas under...
Like Intercourse. The Scoreboard made victory sounds. Veeck beamed and thanked everybody. Then he spent two hours going over the game, pitch by pitch, with Bob Lemon, his manager, and two coaches. Ralph Garr was still swinging at the first pitch too often. He had to be reminded to wait for a strike every time he came...
