Land Squeeze

For five years now, resi-
dents of the Southwest
Redevelopment' area have
been victims of mass confu-
sion and poor planning.
J have been negotiating
with the Redevelopment Land
Agency in an attempt to sell
my property. I am told to
either take their price
which I consider unfair-or
wait until they are ready for
my area. But I can't get
them to fix the year, much
less the month, when they
will get to my area. This
program has had more stop
end go" than the F street
car line.
Like many of my friends in
this area, I find myself torn
between two very compelling
desires: To sell my property
and leave this ever-deterior-
ating mess. or to hold my
ground and seek the justice
that is guaranteed me by law.
Justice is fine, but what is
its price and how long will
1t be coming?
AS a direct result of this
great adventure in progress"
residents of this area are re-
quired to endure greater and
greater hardships with every
passing day. Blocks of aban-
doned houses serve only as
Ravens for vagrants and as a
breeding ground for an end
less army of rats. The only
Catholic school as we'll as
several public schools have
been or are about to be torn
down. Stores and shops are
closing by the score. 1 have
noticed with great dismay
that many city health and
safety regulations exclude the
Southwest. AS if all of this
were not enough, / am nightly
lulled to sleep by a pile driver
playing its song until mid
night. The land agency
knows. as well as I, that it
takes more than four walls
to make a home. While they
are not ready to take the
walls. they are destroying
everything in the area that
makes them a home. This
"Squeeze-out" makes their
price look better to me every
day.
While feel my complaints
are Just, how much can my
family and l endure to see
them aired in the courts?
During recent few weeks the
land agency has pointed with
pride to their record of set
Ting over 80 per cent of their
cases "out of court" How
many of these people were
truly satisfied and how many
found they could no longer
endure the squeeze? In the
eyes of many people. the
cleanup" may represent
social progress, but to many
of lis it means only endless
problems and financial re-
gression. A great deal OF
planning and study has gone
into the before and after" of
this operation. but little if
any has been directed at the
during" Victim of Progress.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM NORRIS

The most trivial Of items can
stir up the liveliest Of brouha-
has. your columnist has learned
over the years. Let him labor
over an essay Of real signi-
ficance and his reward is UNI
needing silence. But let him
err ever so slightly in an item
and the mails bring dozens Of
letters questioning his sanity,
accuracy and general fitness
for column-writing.
For example, I noted the
mathematical term "googol"
and reported correctly that 1t
is the numeral followed by
100 zeroS. Not content with
that. though, I added Cincor-
rectly) that a "googolplex" is q
googol to the googol power.
Now let's hear from Bill Rey-
nard Of the Ashtabula (Ohio)
Star-Beacon - one of the
gentlest Of my critics.
"A googolplex is a numeral
l with a googol of zeros be-
hind it," he writes. II respect
fully refer to you Kasner and
Newman's Mathematics and
the Imagination, an excellent
book for those who are not
mathematically gifted could
he mean me?). yet who think
they may enjoy a glimpse into
the realms Of higher mathe-
mates.
Your googolplex would be
somewhat larger than the GOO
golplex as originally defined by
Kasner and Newman. Yours
would be googol with a googol
OF zeros behind it. giving it 100
more zeros."
Mr.. Reynard has words of
consolation for those of us
worried about those extra 100
zeros. though. Whichever
'googolplex' we're used. It
wouldn't make much differ
ence." he adds. "If all the
atoms in the known universe
we're changed into ink, assuming
we could write on nothing at
all, the googolplex could never
be physically written. Even IL
one ink atom could be counted
as a zero. there would not be
enough to write the googol-
pick"
And you know something? I
think he's right.

Mr.. Masters didn't like the
result either, but he came to
Mr.. Dale's rescue.
You're all wrong, New" he
said. I'VE were had. but We
were had fairly. A player is
entitled to make any bid he
pleases as long as it has just

IKnicks' Guerin Out

NEW YORK. Oct. IA R.-
A rough. fight-marked basket

Boston's Bill Sharman at New

that physicians reported Cue
