...least until 1985. In the meantime, Thomas McGee has left no doubt that he will use any means to justify his ends--and remain in power. Only with his departure, therefore, will Massachusetts fully embark on an experiment in responsible self-government. Until then, the Commonwealth will probably retain the dubious distinction accorded to it by the historian Samuel Eliot Morison as "the least efficient and most corrupt of modern state governments...
...Nakasone issued a statement, approved by other L.D.P. leaders, in which he promised to "eliminate completely" Tanaka's influence in the party. The opposition dismissed the gesture as cosmetic. Yet even if Nakasone survives the political sharpshooting within his party, he still faces an election next November to retain the L.D.P. leadership.

The investigators charged that from 1975 to 1981 Friderichs and Lambsdorff had accepted nearly $200,000 from West Germany's largest privately owned industrial concern, the Düsseldorf-based Friedrich Flick Industrieverwaltung, in exchange for granting the firm generous tax exemptions. Lambsdorff, 56, is a respected member of the Free Democratic Party, the minority partner in Kohl's Christian Democrat-dominated government, and an architect...
