...related action last week, Associated Milk Producers, Inc. was fined a maximum $35,000 in federal court in Washington after pleading guilty to making illegal campaign contributions to Democratic and Republican candidates in 1968, 1970 and 1972, including Hubert Humphrey, Edmund Muskie, South Dakota Senator James Abourezk and Arkansas Representative Wilbur Mills...
...Senator, the most effective pictures are stark, almost monochromatic hill country landscapes. "Sometimes my wife thinks my photography is more an obsession than a hobby," Baker says. It seems that the wife of South Dakota's junior Senator may soon be feeling the same way; James Abourezk has caught the bug.

Over 250 Vietnamese policemen were to be trained this year in the United States--a small fraction of the 120,000 Vietnamese in the National Police, the largest South Vietnamese police agency, but a large increase over the 43 policemen trained in the United States the year before. In the meantime, Vietnamese continue to die in skirmishes between Saigon and NLF troops...
