Poured Money. Defferre tried to avoid any impression of being the "American candidate." By criticizing De Gaulle's highhanded policy, he "does not at all mean to say that France or any other European country should be subordinated to the U.S. I have come here to make it clear!" But Defferre sharply disagrees with De Gaulle...
...avoid such nightmares, industry spokesmen called for self-regulation by the companies, though they were vague on specifics. Oregon Senator Maurine Neuberger, a longtime crusader for labeling laws, was unimpressed: "Self-regulation is at best fantasy and at worst a dilatory tactic." FTC Chairman Paul Rand Dixon was determined to carry out the labeling; once the commission finishes studying arguments next month, it will probably hand down such an order.

That leaves a great deal unsaid about Sorensen's influence on Kennedy. He joined Kennedy as a militant A.D.A. liberal when the junior senator was conservative enough to avoid the censure vote on Sen.

With Cassius Clay exiled from the boxing world no one will recognize Doug Jones or Ernie Terrell as a legitimate champion. Much as Lassman might wish that only nice Baptist boys from healthy middle...
...times of economic vigor, companies tend to increase their inventories, expecting even greater sales ahead and hoping to avoid possible increases in the cost of materials. The U.S. economy is certainly healthy-but the supplies on the nation's shelves have not been building up in their usual relation to sales. In fact, the Commerce Department announced last week, business inventories in January actually declined by $160 million (to $103 billion), the first monthly drop since early 1961. What is going...
