...walked out. She called in the parties to the dispute and announced a settlement before it was actually made. Says a former aide to Daley: "He never called people in. He waited until both sides asked him to act. Then he got to work." Daley also had clout and trust. A handshake was sufficient to seal an agreement. Because she is new to the scene, Byrne's handshake is not yet enough. With the help of management personnel, she got some trains rolling, and rode on one herself. A Chicago judge then came to her rescue by issuing...
...rank and file of the Patriotic Front have been recruited mainly from rural Tribal Trust Lands, where 40% of the country's 7 million blacks, employed mostly as day laborers, are concentrated. Zimbabwe Rhodesia's biggest black groups are the Shona, who form some 80% of the population, and Ndebele, who make up about 15% (whites constitute 3%).

All these songs concerned music and the compact of trust between audience and artist. As compositions they enhanced and extended the possibilities of rock. As Townshend wrote those songs, and The Who performed them, the truth of Townshend's contention became clear: "Rock has no limits." All that, and they can be danced...
...stating his position in Saran Wrapped platitudes. Not wanting to be used, reporters constantly labor to get off-the-record statements put back on the record but must often settle for not-for-at-tribution ("You can use it, but don't pin it on me"). When mutual trust has been established-the one convinced he will not be misquoted, the other that he will not be misled-a lot of important information has become public...
