...save-the-bay movement came to a head when a corporation called West-bay Community Associates announced plans to develop a residential-commercial-recreational complex along 27 miles of presently submerged bayshore south of San Francisco. Three days later, the state's Bay Conservation and Development Commission released another plan that was a clean-cut challenge to the Westbay proposal. The only bay filling that might henceforth be justified, it said, would be for projects "providing substantial public benefits" that could not be gained otherwise-port terminals, airport extensions and "close-to-home" recreation facilities like marinas, beaches, parks...
...personally to irksome political critics and statehouse correspondents ("Phooey on you, phooey on you, and phooey on you!"). Last week Atlanta Attorney James H. Moore and a band of reporters hatched up their revenge with something called a "Phooey-gram," a telegram sent directly to Maddox bearing nothing save the sender's name and one word-"Phooey."

Some large families and retired couples will undoubtedly wind up on food stamps and welfare. Oliver Overington, 74, retired from the mill in 1960 and lives with his wife on a company pension of $6.25 a month and $1,800 a year in social security. Though their Daniels house had minimal facilities (no hot running water), the Overingtons had taken pains with the painting and papering and were convinced that they would...
...that the hospital can retain at least its probationary status. Help may come from Washington, where Massachusetts' Senator Edward M. Kennedy has been plugging for federal loans to crisis-ridden municipal hospitals. But the question remains whether the financial therapy will be quick and massive enough to save Boston City...
