...Young People: Faced with problems and disappointments, many people will try to escape from their responsibility: escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. But today, I propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape ... Whatever you make of your life, let it be something that reflects the love of Christ ... Whatever you do, remember that Christ is calling you, in one way or another, to the service of love: the love of God and of your neighbor ... Love demands effort and a personal...
...inclination of all Cabinet departments is to narrow the scope for presidential decision, not to expand it. They are organized to develop a preferred policy, not a range of choices. If forced to present options, the typical department will present two absurd alternatives as straw men bracketing its preferred option-which usually appears in the middle position. A totally ignorant decision maker could satisfy his departments by blindly choosing Option Two of any three choices submitted...
...Equitable Life Assurance Society have introduced an intriguing salary gimmick: they are giving their workers the choice of taking their annual raises in a single lump sum as soon as the increases are granted, rather than having them parceled out in paychecks through the year.

On the first play, Ryan burned the lagging resistance, hitting a wide-open Mike Turley for 41 yards to the Harvard 19 before Scott MacLeod collared...
Daly's prophecy proved right, for by November 1975 the library corporation had narrowed its choice down to two alternatives--the Cambridge/Charlestown archives/museum split or the Columbia Point "we'll take the whole thing" option. While Cambridge residents continued to protest, Dorchester opened its arms and welcomed the library. It was, as Dan H. Fenn Jr. '44, director of the library, says, a "very, very painful, difficult, unhappy time for everyone." President Kennedy had, after all, personally favored a Harvard site. But as family members and library corporation officers retreated for a now-famous weekend meeting in New York, Harvard...
