Perhaps the most telling comment on the ambiguousness of the presidential balance sheet came from Kansas G.O.P. Congressman Bob Dole, who suggested that the Republican Party "offer to buy his holdings for the price he now places on them." Said Dole: "I am sure that we could sell these same properties at a very good price and use the profit to finance the campaign of Barry Goldwater...
...belated attempt to create a history has "traced" the beginning of the order to A.D. 644, when the Prophet Mohammed's son-in-law, Kalif Alee (whose name be praised!), founded a "vigilance committee" to dole out punishment for crimes not already covered by existing laws. The committee became a select group of noblemen, presumably above reproach and therefore demonstrably better than other men. They evolved elaborate rituals and ceremonies. As luck would have it, a copy of the ritual (in translation) wandered slowly across the vast Near Eastern deserts to America, where it fell, like manna from heaven...
Charles Edison, a former New Jersey Governor, is disgusted with "power centralized in the hands of the Federal Government and with socialism. I am against states being pushed into oblivion.

The workers of America...
...labor costs, the 15 U.S. shipping lines are kept afloat financially only by the Federal Government, which pays the difference between U.S. and foreign operating costs. Since wages are un likely ever to be rolled back, the ship ping industry's sole chance of getting off the federal dole ($245 million in 1963) is to replace men with machines. Steaming ahead of all the others in that direction, Lykes Bros. Steamship Co. last week asked the Government for an unusual subsidy: to put up, in the interest of efficiency, half of the $6,000,000 required to modernize...
