Moakley's campaign then became a step-by-step program to break down Hicks' seemingly impenetrable fortress and to build on his own base of support. As the highest vote-getter in the 1971 City Council election and with a 14-year record in the Massachusetts legislature, Moakley began the campaign with a sizeable constituency. And Senator Bob Cawley's redistricting scheme added Moakley supporters to the voter rolls...
LFARNING the technique of Transcendental Meditation entails seven steps at once dubbed the "Seven Steps to Bliss." After two free introductory lectures, the actual course-which costs $45 for college students and $75 for full-time working adults-consists of an initiation and four one-hour lessons on consecutive days. The beginner learns to meditate the first day through step-by-step instruction with his teacher and immediately starts the practice of regular meditation-once in the morning and once in the late afternoon. In the next three lessons teachers check their technique and discuss their...
...inevitable? No, says Friedrich, "it could have been avoided up to the very day on which Hitler took power," and his book creates an agonizing, step-by-step awareness of how things might have gone differently.

His longest fight was a largely successful effort to expand application of the Bill of Rights beyond the federal structure to state courts and agents as well. Despite his acknowledged eminence among colleagues, he remained...
Author Forsyth seems less efficient. In chronicling the plots and ploys of the Jackal and his enemies, he produces far too many shifts of focus, step-by-step itineraries and logistical minutiae. He inventories the furnishings of De Gaulle's office, and feels compelled to specify that the chauffeured, black Citroën DS 19s circle the courtyard of the Elysée Palace counterclockwise. But on such things as how to steal a passport or select an assassination site, his expertise is extraordinarily compelling...
