...short run, the bill will increase federal revenues. Eventually, however, as tax reductions take effect, federal intake will decline sharply, creating what one Treasury man calls "the revenue crunch of the '70s." The bill represents a Democratic attempt to win the affections of Nixon's middle-class constituency by offering ample benefits to middle-income taxpayers. A couple with two children and a $10,000 income, for example, will save $209 by 1973; the same family earning $25,000 would gain $172. Says one Senate Democrat: "What we are fighting for is suburbia." Former Budget Director Charles Schultze...
...announcement, and the tactless manner in which it was handled, caused a bipartisan uproar. Only a few hours after Morgenthau received the letter asking for his resignation, the Administration named Whitney North Seymour Jr., a capable New York lawyer and former assistant U.S. attorney, as his successor. The net effect may be to force Seymour to wait until Morgenthau quits or until his term expires...
Good Reasons. The Nixon Administration is anxious to draw China out of its "angry, alienated shell," as Under Secretary of State Elliot Richardson put it recently.

Also, Washington worries that a lack of contact between China and the U.S. might embolden the Russians to blackmail or attack China. In view of Moscow's superior military strength, an American show of neutrality would only benefit the Russians; yet because of the communications void between Peking...
Pernicious Pollution. Dramatic oil spills in coastal waters capture the public's concern by killing countless marine creatures and sea birds. But more pernicious is the long term effect of chronic pollution from tankers flushing their storage compartments at sea. That, along with other everyday mishaps, adds up to 284 million gallons of spilled oil every year-about ten times the amount that oozed from the Torrey Canyon, and enough to coat a beach 20 ft. wide with a half-inch layer of oil for 8,633 miles. Scientists are increasingly worried that this oil could be poisonous...
...simple and unoriginal: personal freedom is the supreme good?in economic, political and social relations. What is unusual is his consistency in applying this principle to any and all problems, regardless of whom he dismays or pleases, and even regardless of the practical difficulties of putting it into effect. He alternately delights and infuriates conservatives, New Left radicals and almost every group in the crowded middle road...
