...representatives, too. But Rosovsky's attitude towards students participating in his large fiefdom surfaced during the development of the Core. At first, Rosovsky wanted to leave students entirely out of the process that would determine the courses they will have to take for the next decade or two, but scattershot outbreaks of indignation among students convinced him to allow non-voting student members on each Core committee. Of course, they weren't allowed to report to other students on the proceedings--that would leave too much room for student input...
Communication during the production of the album was something of a scattershot affair. Producers Lenny Waronker and Russ Titelman brought Jones into the recording studio, corralled some of the best musicians in town to play behind her, invested four or five patient months until the album was done. "Lenny and Russ could appreciate a ... um . . . wild and unusual personality," says Rickie Lee. "They gave me complete space...
...University may have a point. There is little doubt that scattershot unionization has problems may in fact have seemed so great to Columbia that university officials felt somehow put upon to influence the balloting in the NLRB-authorized election against District 65 a few weeks ago.

Later chapters pondering the fate of other European nations influenced by Bonaparte's power - England, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Spain...
...spend four times as much as campers but also generate six times more jobs, seven times more income and over five times as much tax revenue for the area. Using these and similar studies, state and community planners hope to devise strategies for balanced tourist growth. Rather than employ scattershot advertising, such as Maine billboards with the inane slogan LOVER COME BACK TO ME, for example, many states could emphasize such qualities as clean air and uncrowded roads. They could also take the strain off overcrowded, ecologically fragile coastal resources by developing and promoting relatively unspoiled inland areas. "Tourism...
