Mills continued: "When I talk about tax reform, I am trying to establish greater equity in the law, greater simplification of the law, greater neutrality in its effect upon business decisions. I am trying to make it easier to administer, and, from the taxpayer's point of view, easier to comply with." He added: "Anybody who enjoys some preferential treatment should be required to come to the Congress periodically and make his case before the public...
...Shock Effect. At the trial, Lament testified that he had read to the protesting prisoners Article 94 of the Military Code, which defines mutiny, "for the shock effect."

The sands and rocks now are without a trace of tar, but the sea is practically devoid of plankton, which nourishes such underwater creatures as limpets and winkles. By contrast, when the slick floated to the coast of Brittany, the French insisted that...
...first sign that Ayub had called a retreat came with the release of hundreds of political detainees, including former Foreign Minister Zulfikar AH Bhutto, now one of his most implacable and potent foes. Under the so-called Defense of Pakistan Rules, emergency laws that Ayub has kept in effect since the Indo-Pakistan war more than three years ago, Bhutto was arrested in mid-November on charges of inciting to riot and endangering the national security. The President's second step was his promise that the emergency regulations would be canceled this week. Despite the fact that...
