...attorney general, a Republican, conveniently ruled that corporations could purchase the book in quantity without violating corrupt-practice laws, which were tightened in 1966 by the Tax Adjustment Act to prevent companies from making contributions by buying advertisements for political fund-raising functions. Already, 30 corporations have placed enough bulk orders for the $12.50 volume, which has no advertisements, to cover the party's $100,000 initial investment. State Chairman Monks predicts that with luck profits could reach $550,000. "If it's successful," says an envious Democratic Party staffer, "we'll be doing...

By building her, at a cost of $20 million, IHI in fact broke the record it set itself in 1966 with...
...national vote won by each of the parties. Kiesinger wants to change to the Anglo-American system, in which a voter in a constituency casts his ballot for one candidate and the candidate who gets the most votes wins and represents that district. After all, the great bulk of the German people, including the trade unions and press, want nothing to do with anything resembling a new Führer. On a straight man-to-man voting system, the National Democrats in all likelihood would not win a plurality in a single constituency...
