Along the way Cambridge produced its share of notables: botanist Louis Agassiz, jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes, actor Walter Brennan, cartoonist Al Capp and camera mogul Edwin Land. "Even Josiah Bartlett, the man who wrote Bartlett's Quotations, lived here," Dickerson said...
...best friend's wife when Mom's illness was uncovered. He met Dierdre through their common analyst, Dr. James. In her apartment, while Henny's on the operating table, they spill out their tribulations and prayers. Their idiocyncrasies, it seems, know no bounds; as well as Dr. James, they share an unquenchable thirst for books. They talk in allusion, carry old volumes everywhere, and make love while reciting from yellowed Byron, cut just for the occasion. At least, they're about to, they're about to, when the phone rings. It's Valerie, the girl Scooper's escorting to Haiti...

But when steel imports rose from a 13.4% share of the domestic market in 1975 to 17.7% in 1977, the Carter Administration imposed minimum or "trigger" prices for imports based on a complex formula.

But, following Inflation Fighter Alfred Kahn's earlier attack on the "outrageous" United Auto Workers' wage settlement with Chrysler, the committee's most contentious call was for a three-year wage freeze. Potential saving to the company: $1.32 billion...
...deciding a major reverse discrimination claim. The issue this time is not the permissibility of racial quotas for professional school admissions (as in the Bakke decision of 1978) or of company job-training programs (as in last summer's Weber ruling), but of a congressional award of a share of federally financed local public works contracts to minority-controlled businesses. The case, on which the nine high court Justices heard oral arguments last week, should help to further define the still murky limits to which affirmative-action programs may go in redressing racial imbalances...
