...parleys do not collapse in the early stages, the next thorny point is likely to be a demand by Hanoi that the National Liberation Front be admitted to the talks. The U.S will counter with a demand for full representation of the Saigon government. That could take more weeks and months?particularly since the N.L.F. denies the legitimacy of the government of South Viet Nam's President Nguyen Van Thieu, and Thieu vows that he will not sit down with the insurgents...
Little Room. The principal roadblock, apart from popular feeling against tax boosts and congressional reluctance to raise the rates in an election year, has been the fiscal conservatives' demand for a substantial cutback in federal expenditures. With military spending still going up and the needs of the cities paramount in the minds of most liberals, there seemed little room for maneuver, even with a projected budget of $186 billion and a possible deficit of $25 billion (on top of a $24.6 billion deficit projected for this year). Massive cuts, liberals believed, would gut too many socially oriented programs that...
...days last year, black demonstrators led by the Rev. James Groppi, 37, a Milwaukee-born Italian-American, paraded from the ghetto into the Polish-occupied South Side and the city's other ethnic sections to demand a city open-housing ordinance.

...only problem these days comes in finding an old VW. The price of scrapped beetles has risen from $100 last year to as much as $500 now-and in many places there are no salvageable wrecks left. Demand has reached well beyond junkyards and used-car lots. Volkswagen of America itself is weighing the pros and cons of manufacturing the short chassis. But many individuals, particularly in California, have discovered another source of supply. Instead of searching out and buying an old VW, they just steal one off the streets-with deplorable impunity. The angry owner of a missing blue...
Chief source of the current trade problem is the U.S. economy's galloping inflation, which prices U.S. goods out of foreign markets and attracts imports to meet internal demand. Last year the U.S. inflation rate outpaced that of most other big industrial countries. With U.S. prices rising most recently at the rate of 4.8% a year, highest since the Korean War, imports jumped by 19% during the first quarter of this year even though 16% of U.S. factory capacity stood idle...
