...time and expense of one-to-one psychotherapy. He saw CP3 graduates as workers and administrators in public clinical settings, such as community mental health centers, mental hospitals, schools, and churches. He wrote in his report, "Our proposals contain a radical change of emphasis in training, with the aim of preparing men and women to provide for previously neglected populations, to meet new expectations, to assume new responsibilities, and, above all, to initiate new ways of serving mental health needs...
...last week Deputy Treasury Secretary William Simon, chairman of the Government's Oil Policy Committee, announced an Administration plan to allocate petroleum supplies. The aim, Simon said, is "to share the shortages equitably." Basically, the measure asks major petroleum refiners and marketers to apportion their supplies to customers on the same basis as they did during the twelve months ended last September.

Genoves will go along to take notes on what he sees, and the voyage will be filmed by a cameraman for Mexico's state TV channel 13, which will pick up the $160,000 tab for the experiment...
Simplification, however, is only one aim of the Administration's tax program; another is to squeeze more tax out of those rich people who still make only small payments or none despite the minimum tax enacted in 1969. Under Shultz's plan, the wealthy could no longer reduce taxes by writing off losses on unprofitable investments against current, unrelated income; the losses could be deducted only from eventual profits from the investments. Also, Shultz would make a complicated change in the way the wealthy compute their taxes. At present, they simply exclude from reported income half their long...
