...dissent; yet he points out that "the motive of civil disobedience, whatever its type, does not confer immunity for law violation. The dissident may be right in the eyes of history or morality or philosophy. But these are not controlling. Just as we expect the government to be bound by all laws, so each individual is bound by all of the laws under the Constitution. He cannot pick and choose...
...Lampoon has long been master of kidnapping, though the ransom is not always so high. In what may have been the first instance of lbis stealing, in 1941, five Crimson editors were bound, gagged, and buried in copies of their own newspaper. Coles Phinizy, president of the Lampoon, displayed Mafia-like toughness declaring, "The lbis is worth 150 dollars, and those guys aren't worth 20 dollars apiece. They'll get nothing but dried toast and an occasional drink of water until we do get it back." They got it back...

Other beneficiaries include Singapore and Malaysia, which store and ship Viet Nam-bound petroleum products, a trade that amounted last year to some $100 million between them...

So does the Laird Bill, which incorporaties most of Friedman's views on income subsidies...

Those who had incomes close to the figure would almost certainly quit work (unless several hundred dollars and getting away from wife and family were worth a forty hour week). And because the choice of the base figures may be rather arbitrary, there are bound to be inequities. The problem of equity becomes more acute the closer the base figure comes to the actual amount necessary to maintain a standard of living that could be described as middle class. The position of the middle class worker may be ill-informed, but it is not irrational...
