West Germany's new third force now seems to be the Greens. With their strong positions against nuclear power, NATO missiles and environmental pollution, the Greens appear to have taken a substantial number of votes away from the Social Democrats. Said Johannes Rau, the Social Democratic premier of the state of North-Rhine Westphalia: "Our job is to lure our voters back from the Greens and to achieve an absolute majority of our own." If that effort means taking the same position as the Greens on many issues, West German politics will grow even more polarized. Curiously...
Western Division: LOS ANGELES DODGERS--Classy teams bounce back. Several things happened at once to cause last season's fiasco, but you can bet your Linda Ronstadt Dodger jacket they won't happen again. Dave Goltz and Don Stanhouse are here to insure that even if Doug Rau wins one of six and Bob Welch five of 11 like last year, Burt Hooton won't have to carry the pitching staff alone...
...best places to get such training is Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. Embry-Riddle (E-RAU) is the world's only accredited four-year college devoted solely to aviation.

Says E-RAU Dean Chuck Williams: "It's a little different from working on an automobile or a truck. Students sense that the bolt they tighten down is going...
...work in both fields are bright, partly because the last wave of World War II-trained men are approaching retirement. "Look around the airports," says Olson. "Most of the people working on planes are gray-haired." He is right: the average age of airplane mechanics is 57. Most E-RAU graduates get their first jobs in aviation working for charter operators and servicing business planes, rather than going direct to airlines...
