...Mayor's control. He is not only opposed on many issues by the Democratic City Council; the state legislature as well has a degree of control over city policies that is perhaps without parallel elsewhere in the U.S. The spectacular hike in welfare rolls is a direct result of heavy black migration from the South and a longtime influx of Puerto Ricans. Much of the budget, including welfare, is mandated by law. Inflation causes union to vie against union in looking to the city treasury...
...Dear Republican," begins the cheery letter to Oregon voters, "we have a winner. Bob Packwood is expected to beat Wayne Morse by 28,180 votes." The figure is an invention; the result may not be.

...imperative that the neurosurgeon operate in infancy. Much more common are cases in which there is no clear warning signal at birth. The seizures begin a few months later and gradually become more frequent and severe. In such cases the cause is brain damage, but not as the result of birth injury. The damage may be the result of infection or biochemical poisoning during gestation and may appear as scarring of the brain. Similar effects may arise when children of any age suffer head injuries...
