He talks of Black children he knows in Roxbury, who mention not nightmares of nuclear blasts, but of "dope and coke and smack and needles and syringes and booze, bottles and bottles of booze, and a future of no work, no work...
Reagan's kooky budget formula prolonged and deepened the recession and produced huge deficits. Reagan has had an unusual number of nincompoops working for his Administration.

The old train depot downtown, finished just in time for the farewells and homecomings of World War I doughboys, is defunct but still grand. The Georgia Power Co. plans to spend $3 million making its interior a trendy warren of shops and offices. The neoclassical façade is to remain unchanged-almost. Georgia Power wants to cover up the anachronistic inscription-COLORED WAITING ROOM-engraved over one entranceway. Says a company spokesman: "We don't want to offend any of our black customers...
