Prospects for Passage. Though approved by the Finance Committee, the R & R bill faces obstacles before it reaches the President's desk. Oil-state Senators plan to fight for restoration of the depletion-allowance cuts on the Senate floor, and liberals will attempt to soften the restrictions on foundations.

During World War II, he was a major in the Marines. He earned a Ph.D. in industrial economics at M.I.T...

Vellucci, vice mayor of Cambridge, sat in a chair by the night editor's desk, alone, unnoticed seeking to exercise his authority on something other than typewriters and fluorescent lamps.
