Taxes for All. Peace and stability should help considerably. So should some of Robles' internal reforms. For a starter, Robles intends to do some thing unheard of - collect the country's taxes. A new tax bill, rammed through Congress, has boosted top personal in come taxes to 43%. Old industrial incentive tax exemptions (some as long as 25 years) will be examined, perhaps renegotiated. To make it all harder to swallow-but sounder by half-he appointed as chief tax collector a bright young U.S.-trained economist, Rodrigo Núñez, 29, who immediately sent auditors...
Parents are again preparing for the occasion. It will occur this coming Sunday for the seventh straight year, and the children, with a special restlessness, will collect around the television set in much the way that their fathers do for the professional football championships. The children know the names and styles of the players they are going to see, for the program has become a modern institution and a red-letter event in the calendar of childhood.

The store continues to collect millions worth of free publicity from its largely mythical war against Gimbels ("Macy's Will Not Be Undersold!"), even though Gimbels has long since been supplanted as New York's second largest store by Brooklyn's Abraham & Straus (in which Jack Straus's family held a major interest until 1913). Macy's also works at burnishing its reputation...
...journal with incendiary proposals for revolutionizing the American way of life (some of the proposals, like women's suffrage, have long since been adopted). When World War I broke out, Eastman became a crusading pacifist, ridiculing Woodrow Wilson's heavy wartime censorship. "You can't even collect your thoughts without getting arrested for unlawful assemblage," he charged...
