Deferred Sandwich. Short (5 ft. 6 in.) and portly, Cohen has a keen sense of the possible. With an eye on the generation ahead, he has always been willing, if necessary, to sacrifice cherished legislative objectives so long as he gets at least a small piece of what he wants. This morsel, Cohen believes, can be fattened a little year by year until eventually the legislation resembles what he wanted in the first place. An aide calls his technique "salami slicing." One slice does not amount to much, but eventually there is enough for a sandwich...
...needs are most conspicuous in the impoverished states, many of them new nations. Almost by definition, an underdeveloped country is an undercapitalized country. Struggling to advance from muscle power to the machine, its people anxiously eye their smokeless horizons in search of capital to build factories, hire managers and export young men to universities from Göttingen to Berkeley. They cast an envious glance at such cities as San Juan and Teheran, which have risen from squalor to considerable splendor in less than a generation.

President Johnson has long since asked for a 10% surtax. This means that an unmarried taxpayer who, with an eye toward April 15, has figured this year's federal tax due on $10,000 at $1,742 would next year owe an additional $131, based on a higher tax tor nine months. So urgent has the tax issue become that Washington has begun to talk about returning to the higher schedules...
...chalk-dusty lecture like The Passion of Josef D., with its dreary analysis of Stalin's rise to power. Chayefsky's latest work, The Latent Heterosexual, which opened at the Dallas Theater Center last week, is an unsuccessful attempt to weld the two Paddys. But the amusing eye-catcher of a title is only dimly related to the play, which is a symbolic satire on a rather threadbare theme: the materialistic corruption of the U.S. soul...
