...final ruling was a compromise. Nonetheless, Dow Chemical Co. was quick to describe the new limit as "unnecessarily stringent." Having dealt with vc for nearly 25 years and cut exposure levels to 50 p.p.m. back in 1961, the company reported no cases of angiosarcoma; its evidence thus indicated that amount as a safe level of exposure. Moreover, the industry says that it simply does not have the technology to comply with the new restriction, and the Society of the Plastics Industry has sued to overturn OSHA's ruling...
...Supreme Court was widely praised in the "tapes" case for its holding that no man was above the law. President Ford, with all good intentions and even with personal magnanimity, has dealt this principle a serious blow. What are we now to do about John Mitchell, who may have already suffered as much as Richard Nixon and is still being prosecuted, or with the other underlings who, as far as anyone can tell, really executed orders from above? This effort to heal the wounds of Watergate has inflamed the existing and far more serious wounds in the principle of equality...

...latest example of Raspberry's painstaking approach dealt with an explosive issue: the performance of students in Washington's predominantly black public school system. Recent tests showed that local pupils are year by year falling farther behind the national norms in reading and math. The release of these findings brought charges-most notably from Barbara Sizemore, a dynamic black who is Washington's new school superintendent-that the tests themselves are "culturally biased" against ghetto children. But Raspberry was dissatisfied with that familiar argument, calling it "a sort...
...HENRY KISSINGER: I cannot say that we are very enthusiastic about the way he dealt with the problem. Between the two phases of the Geneva Conference, I knew that the Turkish plan was to gain some time. The Turkish plan for the military occupation of Cyprus-a plan involving some 300 tanks, 40,000 troops and masses of heavy artillery-was not dreamed up overnight. It was a plan to conquer Cyprus that was already in existence. It was an expansionist Turkish military plan. I knew that. Two days before the second phase of the Geneva Conference, I asked Kissinger...
