...hours, pencil in teeth, thumbing through sheaves of coffee-stained bills spread over a kitchen table, one concludes that he could be a victim of some inept tax advisory preparers." The St. Louis Globe Democrat thought that "it is entirely reasonable to assume that the IRS would have dealt more generously with someone less vulnerable than the President." The Wall Street Journal, while siding with Nixon's taxmen in believing that the deductions on the papers could be defended, observed that "the nation has a right to expect better of Presidents" than Nixon's efforts to cut every conceivable...
Another question is why the FAA acceded to the company's request. Former FAA Administrator John Shaffer, who dealt with McDonnell Douglas, says that a service bulletin is as effective as an airworthiness directive. That view seems questionable. House subcommittee records indicate that several planes were still not modified eight months after the bulletin had been issued. The bulletin did spell out clearly how an airline could take precautions to make sure that the cargo door was locked. They included fitting a support plate on the door, installing a window in the door so that a ground-crew member...
Other clubs weren't so lucky as the Pirates or the Mets over the winter. That old horse-trader Gene Mauch will probably wish he never picked up the phone during the off-season. The Montreal skipper dealt away his whole franchise (with the exception of super-star Ken Singleton) when he sent Mike Marshall to the Dodgers for Willie Davis. While Walt Alston is busy smacking his lips, Mauch will have to depend on a staff that makes even Atlanta's hurlers look good, and that's bad news for die-hard Expo fans...
...plots still visible near many of the larger figures. On these dirt sketch pads, she says, they could break down each drawing into its component parts. Straight lines could be drawn by stretching a rope between two stakes. Curves represented more of a challenge. The ancient draftsmen apparently dealt with it by breaking each curve into smaller, linked arcs. Recognizing that the arcs represented sections of the circumferences of different-sized circles, they could have anchored one end of a string to a rock or stake at the center of the appropriate circle and with the other end traced...
...choice to drop out of the hunt first, but not until late in the season. They figure to wind up about six or seven games off the winning pace. Their main strength appears to be a fairly sound mound staff, including perennial strong man Mel Stottlemyre, Fritz Peterson (who dealt his wife and his popularity to Mike Kekich last spring), Pat Dobson, Sam McDowell and Steve Kline...
