...Barton and his nefarious trainer, Mcltzoff, had snatched me from my very bed at 2 a.m. and raped me. It is my understanding that even Dean May doesn't have to put up with such tactics. And the time limit did not suit my pancake eating style. But I admit to having lost fair and square and can only console myself with the fact that I outbreed everyone at the table...
...kitchen of the city's posh Plimsoll Club, collared its manager-chef, Jean Pierre Lafitte, and charged him with a $350,000 swindle. The arrest ended a six-year search by federal authorities.

It will avail Nixon little politically to blame inflation on the Johnson Administration, even though Lyndon Johnson's failure to ask for higher taxes in 1966 to help meet Viet Nam costs is a major source of today's problem. Some congressional Republicans believe that Nixon will arrange to relax the money squeeze well before ballot time. But at least one of the President's most...
Some of the loopholes were deliberately allowed to stay open, authorities admit. Federal Reserve officials feared that if they had closed every gap in the regulations, some banks might have failed. In a banking system based on confidence, that might have touched off a financial panic, something that the Federal Reserve is sworn to prevent. Still, Board Chairman Bill Martin admitted to Congress that the "safety valve" had become "an escape hatch through which restraints are being avoided." The banks also flooded the country with new credit cards, which stimulated consumer spending and certainly did not reduce
