Meet the Press. In New York, one of the most dynamic campaigners in the U.S. did his best to bolster one of the most forlorn. Waiting for Kennedy, Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Robert M. Morgenthau stood alone on the apron at La Guardia Airport. No one seemed to know the pleasant, introverted lawyer who has suddenly found himself thrust into a contest with Republican Nelson Rockefeller. An aide finally ushered Morgenthau over to meet the press, but the conversation soon suffered into silence, and the candidate went back to standing by himself and staring into space...
WASHINGTON (3-0-1): In 1960 and 1961, Washington went to the Rose Bowl, did its bit to bolster West Coast prestige by trouncing Wisconsin (44-8) and Minnesota (17-7).

It seemed that almost all countries were attempting to improve their trade balances and reserves at the same time...
Probably the best way for the Kennedy Administration to bolster business confidence is to push urgently ahead on complete tax reform. The Administration is already committed to rewrite, so as to give business a better tax break, the depreciation schedules on industrial equipment. It has promised such a revision by July 6. and it can deliver on that vow by executive action, without the approval of Congress. Far more important is overall tax reform, which would plug the loopholes in the present code and lower :he rates on both the personal income tax and the corporation tax. The tax reform...
