...Rockefeller to Latin America [June 6] is similar to talking of twine in the house of the hanged. The Rockefeller empire stretches from practically one end of Latin America to the other, representing the powerful wealth and prosperity of the U.S. and everything that goes along with it.

...halfway mark, Nelson Rockefeller's four-part series of fact-finding missions to Latin America for President Nixon has a depressing record.

Among the fruits of this year's campus disorders is a harvest of state laws that student activists might well ponder this summer. Reflecting majority disapproval across the country, the laws will make campus protest far riskier next fall. Some disruptive tactics, in fact, are now legally denned as felonies, with penalties of up to five and even ten years in prison...

...deduct from their taxable income 271% of the value that each well yields; more over, the deduction can be taken as long as the well produces, even if the original cost of exploration and devel opment has been returned many times over. The allowance was partially responsible for the fact that no taxes at all were paid by 155 U.S. citizens who earned more than...
