Their specs less has isolated them and their isolation makes their tragedies seem All the Mote pathetic. It is time for them and us to grow up. I believe Edward Kennedy is a highly Able senator recently he introduced a Bill to make head Start an entitlement a guarantee to poor children us America that a a Good idea. Almost everyone in Washington knows it. Head Start is one of the few programs in government that works. Kennedy is one of the Lew legislators who is willing to try to extend it. But the very thing that makes it possible for the sen Ator to take on this important Issue makes it unlikely that he will create new Law. He is Teddy Kennedy he is expected to speak Cut on bleeding heart causes. He is Teddy Kennedy his supporters accept the costs of his proposals without complaint. But his support is also proscribed because he is Teddy Lemieuy. He bp�1 a a a a bus Suttib a it i Here i hide poem Bony that he a i Taki Hie Law i.

Roaring traffic that has blighted san Francisco a waterfront since the mid-1950s. The freeways demise is one of the High Points of an anti Turnpike backlash that in recent years has slowed the paving of America and caused even this country a fanatic motorists to weigh the advantages of Concrete Cloverleaf is. Nature interstates is. The environment. The demolition expected to be accomplished on a double shift schedule by the end of july is a final Victory for those san franciscans who for years fought the Embarcadero freeway stopped its Extension to the Golden Gate and Are seeing at last its Dusty death. And As Deputy mayor Douglas Wright Points out occupants of Bayfront buildings soon will have a views they Haven to had in 35 and what views they will be not just of the Bay itself or of its teeming waterborne traffic or of treasure and other islands like a Zuiani tinkertoy Structure the great Bay Bridge with its towers and suspension cables and its an like cars swarming across elevated roadways rises magnificently above the scene. Not everyone of course is Happy that the freeway is coming Down to Many americans interfering with the free flow of automobiles is As abhorrent As taxes. In san Francisco after an anti freeway Campaign halted the double decked Structure in midair in the 1960s, it became what mayor Art Agnos called a the worlds longest off ramp a taking traffic from the Bay Bridge and Highway 101 into the City a Busy financial area and also serving Chinatown and North Beach. Some merchants and property owners in Tho. areas wanted the Embarcadero freeway repaired after damage from the 19s9 earthquake caused it to be closed temporarily. State transportation authorities at first promised to do the Job in six months for $32 million a a time and a Cost that mayor Agnos and other freeway opponents scoffed at. Later indeed the state upped its estimates to $70 million and at least a year of construction to put the freeway Hack in operation. In a 6to-5 vote the City Council then agreed with Agnos to tear Down the High Rise freeway it will be replaced with a surface Road that also will Lake Ira flip from the Bay Bridge and Highway 101 into he downtown area. 11ns Aitery will clip into a Trench in front of the ferry building the Trench will he covered Fry a Pla a he area and Light Tail transit also will he provided along the Walc Ifrona the total Cost of the project demolition and construction is estimated at $135 million of which state and Federal governments will contribute about $100 million. An additional $15 million approximately will come from sales of land now occupied by off Rani its or newly available to private interests. The Embarcadero freeway was planned and construction was started during the Highway building Freny of the 1950s. But when san franciscans got a look at the huge Concrete and steel a Ture blocking the a City by the Bay Quot from its Bay they Stojin Jcj it m midcourse along its planned waterfront route to a connection with the Golden Gate Bridge.
