...becoming a permanent segment of the service economy, the handlers have naturally acquired many of the traits of any other bureaucracy. As they get more sophisticated, they move from product to product, campaign to campaign. The special sense of mission diminishes, the sense of omnipotence increases, and ultimately a kind of benign contempt for the candidate develops...
...tenant wished to remain but did not want to purchase the unit, the unit could be sold to a third party, but only with the condition that the elderly person could remain an occupant as long as he or she so desired. This plan meets the needs of a segment of the population without destroying a whole industry. It is interesting that the city has not once attempted to create any plan to allow its senior citizens to acquire condominium units by way of subsidy with all the excessive windfall tax payments that it has received through condominium conversion...

There, facing a wall of TV screens, they orchestrate the broadcast. Porges makes sure that each segment adheres to its time schedule. Because of commercials there are only 22 minutes for news in the half-hour broadcast, not a second more. If something runs long or short, the two domestic anchormen-Tom Jarriel in Chicago and Frank Reynolds in Washington-have been given compensating sentences they can drop...
