...release them. By a strong 7-to-2 vote, the court reversed a lower-court decision to release the tapes for public listening. Recognizing the public right to inspect and copy court records, Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr., who wrote the majority opinion, acknowledged that the tapes could add to public understanding of Watergate, despite the already widespread dissemination of printed transcripts. But he also noted Nixon's argument that the tapes had been turned over to the special prosecutor for evidence in litigation, not for public titillation...
...chapel. The 500 parishioners were praying daily for the Lord to show them some way to pay their debt when, according to Tomer, God answered in the person of one Robert Philpot, a Dallas oilman. In search of a promotion gimmick to introduce his new engine additive, called Add-A-Tune, Philpot offered to buy one of Presley's planes (for $2 million) and take it on a fund-raising tour for the church.

Only two serious hurdles, the Yale and Princeton matches--albeit, a couple serous hurdles--now stand between Harvard and the league crown...
Cutting the federal budget is an alternative that Washington is not yet vigorously pursuing; right now all the pressures are to add a billion here and there. Nonetheless, there are ideas, of widely varying reasonableness. Some conservatives would shrink foreign aid, welfare, Social Security benefits. Alan Greenspan suggests reducing expenditures for public service employment of the jobless, a most dubious economy. Rudolph Penner, director of tax policy studies of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, more sensibly would pare the roughly $68 billion in federal grants-in-aid to state and local governments, many of which...
