The mere presidential request for higher taxes set off a small retreat in municipal bond yields, from an average 3.98% to 3.91% for 20-year issues. And big investors scurried to snap up the last half of the big A. T. & T. debentures, which they had been spurning on the ground that the rate should have even been higher.

He told Washington audiences: "Violence is necessary. It is as American as cherry pie. If you give me a gun and tell...

The Ticket That Exploded, revised since it was first published in France five years ago, is a nightmare of pornography, disjointed prose,* spaceships powered by copulation, frog people, hangings, and "Sex Skins," which devour people in what apparently is the ultimate ecstasy of death...
