...major report was drawn up by a six-man commission appointed by Army Secretary Martin Hoffmann to investigate last spring's cheating scandal (TIME cover, June 7). Wrote Commission Chairman Frank Borman, the former astronaut, in a letter to Hoffmann accompanying the 91-page study: "We believe that education concerning the honor code has been inadequate and the administration of the honor code has been inconsistent and, at times, corrupt. The cadets did cheat, but were not solely at fault. Their culpability must be viewed against the unrestrained growth of the 'cool-on-honor' subculture...

Later, Dutch prosecutors ignored allegations by an Israeli journalist that Menten had taken part in the East Galician atrocities. Two years later, in 1951, the Dutch government also brushed aside a Polish request for Menten's extradition...
...businessmen's plan was drawn up by GE's Jones for an earlier session of the Conference Board, a private research group. Many of its elements reflect conservative business thinking. Like the Carter transition staffs program, the Jones plan calls for $15 billion in tax cuts for individuals-but Jones would make them permanent, not temporary. That would tend to limit the size of the Federal Government in the future, by reducing the revenues available to start new social programs. To boost investment in new plant and equipment, the Jones plan also specifies an increase in the investment...
