MOST people sense a peculiarly bitter injustice in the fact that the arrival of spring, with all its pleasures, coincides so harshly with the time of the Big Bite, better known as Income Tax Day. For some journalists, however, the pains and problems that arrive inexorably on April 15 are at least mildly alleviated by the opportunity to complain in print about the assorted inequities of the U.S. tax structure-and to suggest remedies as well...
...became Third Army Chief of Staff in 1941. He planned the maneuvers of 270,000 troops in Louisiana that fall so ably that he won the attention of Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall, who was searching diligently for men to direct the battles he foresaw. The blunt fact remained that after 30 years as a professional soldier, Eisenhower's permanent rank had gone no higher than lieutenant colonel. So little was he known that photo captions of the exercises listed him as "Lieut. Colonel D. D. Ersenbeing...
Packard's Wand. In fact, any confidence Fulbright might have had in the Safeguard system had already been undermined by Deputy Secretary of Defense David Packard, who turned up to testify armed with a raft of charts and diagrams showing Russia's growing threat as an 1CBM power.

...Chicago 155. But at a conference held last week at Manhattan's Rockefeller University, researchers suggested that these figures are gross underestimates. New York City may have as many as 30,000 cases, and the total for the U.S. may run as high as 225,000. The fact is that no one really knows, and the experts cannot even agree as to the best way to find out. Nor can they tell yet how many of the lead-poisoned children will suffer permanent brain damage, or die in young adulthood from kidney damage...
...They Crazy? Such professional disagreement does nothing to enhance the layman's opinion of psychiatry and its related fields. Nor does the fact that psychiatrists in the witness chair frequently couch their findings in language that either boggles the layman's mind or defies surface credibility. Even highly respected California Psychiatrist Bernard L. Diamond, key defense witness last week at the Sirhan trial, admitted that the jury might have trouble believing his testimony that Sirhan killed Robert Kennedy while in a self-induced hypnotic trance. To the layman, this would be an "absurd, preposterous story, unlikely and incredible...
