Last week Jimmy announced his line for next Sunday's Super Bowl between the N.F.L.'s Green Bay Packers and the A.F.L.'s Oakland Raiders. The Packers-by 14. He gave Green Bay two points each for superior quarterbacking, pass receiving, line play and linebacking, plus four points for pass defense and three for "intangibles" (meaning Coach Vinnie Lombardi), minus one for inferior place-kicking. "The Packers will play a conservative first quarter," predicted Jimmy. "But Lombardi's game plan for the second half should be something. That's when the Raiders will...
...treated equally." Inferior types might be looked upon as man now looks on inferior animals. A large measure of truth could be read into one of Hitler's Nürnberg decrees that held "there is a greater difference between the lowest forms still called human and our superior races than between the lowest man and monkeys of the highest order." Yet Adler gives the subject a new twist by asserting that man's nature is defined not only by his difference from the beasts but by his difference from machines...
...frequently failed where another President with superior powers of persuasion might have succeeded. His inability to convince either Congress or the nation of the need for a tax increase is one example.

Martin Sheen, recently seen as one of the punks in The Incident (TIME, Nov. 10), brings to the title role an imaginative boisterousness not unlike his superior work in that film; Ralph Waite is a dashingly demagogic Claudius. Anita Dangler is a fluttery flibbertigibbet of a Gertrude, while April Shawhan is a sexy, miniskirted Ophelia. Gait MacDermot's pounding rock background seems at least as appropriate to this version of the play as the gentle pleasing...
Gray later commented that "this could have been done by City Hall, but this process, which looks tortuous, is what I believe in." He said he felt that Cambridge's plan for electing the majority of the governing agency will be superior to the appointment of Boston agency members. "The people have to know that they are running this program," Gray said...
