...high school connected with a prizefight? The answer goes back to 1968, when San Antonio's parochial schools were in deep financial trouble -like others across the U.S.-and Archbishop Robert Lucey halted all diocesan subsidies for three of the city's twelve Catholic high schools. One of the three schools was located in a wealthy white neighborhood, and it easily survived by raising tuition. Another, situated in a lower-middle-class area, gave up and closed its doors. It is now a warehouse...
...Viet Nam finally ends, what will be done to bind up the wounds and lift the impoverished economy of the whole region? Remarkably, much has already been accomplished. Leaders of four of the nations that share the Indo-Chinese peninsula-Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and South Viet Nam-have buried deep political antagonisms and have been swept up in what they call the spirit of the Mekong.

He has rejected price guidelines, personal pressures on business and labor leaders, and outright controls. His policy coincides with Friedman's fundamental ideology?a strong aversion to Government interference?and places great emphasis on lower federal spending, as well as the monetary measures that Friedman has illuminated and popularized. Manipulation of the money supply operates indirectly on the economy, but its impact is ultimately massive and touches the lives and fortunes of nearly everyone...
