...picket lines set up that day in the administration building at Tufts. The reporter told me that these facts weren't very important since the story wouldn't appear the next day--it did. He also told me that he knew all the facts--he didn't. I refer anyone who wishes to know about my case to the articles which have appeared in the Boston Globe of December 7 and the Tufts Observers of November 17, December 1 and 8. In those articles my case is, generally, well reported in an objective manner...
...Palace chapel of infant Francisco Borbón Martínez-Bordíu, Alfonso and his wife Carmencita were designated Duke and Duchess of Cádiz. Franco's reasoning in restoring the monarchy was to provide Spaniards with a familiar anchor after he is gone. Cynics refer to the King-designate as "Juan Carlos the Brief." "Everywhere else," a Madrid university student complained, echoing an attitude common among young Spaniards, "they are shooting at kings or at least asking serious questions about what they do.

Duded up in wide-brimmed hats, black leather jackets, high-heeled boots and bell-bottom pants, gang members actually refer to themselves as "The Family"; their leader, Garland Jeffers, 25, has inevitably dubbed himself "the Godfather." Comprising some 20 survivors of past street wars, The Family has two hideouts on a quiet, tree-lined family street. But they can be seen daily on the streets of Gary's worst slum, Midtown, hanging out in front of seedy pool halls and bars. There they ply their trade: collecting protection money from the town's pimps and pushers...
