...hammered out not between Congress and the White House but within the Administration itself. Sharing federal revenues with the states and cities is a Republican idea of long standing. But guaranteeing a minimum annual income for welfare recipients decidedly is not ? even with the provision that they must accept any available work or vocational-training opportunity. There was a good deal of tugging and hauling over the welfare proposals, mainly pitting two relatively liberal Nixon men, HEW Secretary Robert Finch and Urbanologist Daniel Patrick Moynihan, against budget-conscious Economist Arthur Burns and other Cabinet-level conservatives...

When an ablebodied, but unemployed father applies for federal assistance under the Nixon plan, he would also have to register with a local employment service.

The fleet serves as a reminder that Ceauşescu has made West Germany...
...terrible anxiety they were feeling. I wanted to do something for the wives. So I decided to offer what I had-my houses." Although Marello declares that he will make "absolutely no use" of the astronauts' names, it is unlikely that NASA will allow the girls to accept the generous offer. In the past, the answer has always been: "Thanks, but no thanks...
