HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ICE CAPADES OF 1969 (NBC, 9-10 p.m.). Jack Jones, Nancy Sinatra and Louis Nye add spice and variety to a collection of the skating troupe's silver moments...
...neither Dan nor Dick but a computer, for the show was supposed to be "a satire on our dehumanized society." It was also intended as a "sensory assault," careening along, sometimes with the screen split four ways, reaching for a dizzying 300 laughs in a half hour. To add to the disorientation, the set was a white plaster cyclorama and the cast wore invisible white booties. It all seemed to come from beautiful downtown nowhere. So did the gags, leaning largely on contraception and homosexuality. In response to critics' and affiliates' protest, the network cancelled this week...
America's Burden. Under the VAT sys tem, companies at each stage of manufacture add a standard percentage of tax - 11% in West Germany, 12.5% in Denmark - to the difference between what they paid for the materials and the price at which their products are sold.

In Paris, used car dealers drove through town last week in protest against the new 25% VAT "luxury" rate on their cars. In Amsterdam, a restaurant owner, cooks and waiters recently staged a mock funeral procession...
What worries Washington is that value-added taxes are refunded on exports and imposed as special border taxes on U.S. products entering European countries.

Except for excise taxes on a few items-autos, alcohol and tobacco...
These boys are objects, whether they are dandies or exotics. They are trying not to do the real and natural human thing--to reach one another. These costumes add up to one thing: a pitiful attempt to be noticed in this competitive community of ours. To be witnessed, but not to be vulnerable. To be seen and not touched. It is an expression of vanity so transparent that it is embarrassing to watch. A thousand barriers protect these egos from one another...
