Indeed, pickets seemed to be nearly everywhere in the city. Three weeks ago 1,900 municipal transit workers walked off their jobs. They did so in support of 1,779 city craft workers (including plumbers, electricians, carpenters and sanitation men) who struck March 31 when the city froze their pay and reduced their benefits. The city wants to pay plumbers $20,150, but they are holding out for $21,500. Gardeners would get $17,330 instead of the $21,000 they want, and electricians would collect $16,620, not the $21,620 they hope for. City residents voted...
...would get "excellent consideration" as a site for a federal solar-research center. By funny happenstance, too, just before last week's election, the Air Force awarded an Orlando company a $33.6 million contract for missiles, and the Department of Transportation granted $15 million to launch a rapid-transit system for Dade County. In addition, Ford courted the Cuban vote by ordering more immigration officials to Miami to accelerate naturalization proceedings. He wooed conservatives by strongly suggesting to one of their leaders, Jerry Thomas, the party's 1974 gubernatorial candidate, that he would be named an Under Secretary...

Thus, for those who choose to work as journalists, the chances are good of spending time on a small-town daily at some point. There is, for instance, Senior Writer Lance Morrow, who wrote this week's cover story on the great American migration from the big cities to smaller cities, rural areas and the Sunbelt. As a high school student, Morrow spent summers in Danville, Pa., covering fires...
...physically interfered with federal government functions. The bill, if applied as broadly as it is vague, would make anyone who picketed a federal building, or protested marine recruiting on campus liable to prosecution and stiff-sentencing. One section of the bill even zeroes in on those who block public transit--which would make street marches a criminal offense...
...Bona was only able to politick his way to 134 votes Tuesday in his quest for the Democratic nomination. Bona's liberal platform consists of cutting the defense budget by 30 per cent, restoring full employment with public improvement programs such as construction of rapid transit, keeping control on oil prices and extending them to profits and turning foreign affairs back over to the State Department. Bona opposes busing, but favors national health insurance and higher taxes for high-income groups and corporations...
