...Grand Schemes. One factor that helped to mollify Mills was Nixon's apparent agreement that any tax breaks allowed to private industry-to subsidize job training for the unemployed, for in-AP stance-be listed in the budget as expenditures. Also, when Mills preached to Nixon on the virtues of an austere spending program and the vices of cooking the books, he found a receptive audience.

The Walker study explains that the "extremely obscene language was a contributing factor to the violence" and "its frequency and intensity were such that to omit it would inevitably understate the effect it had." Since the report is otherwise couched largely in the turgid prose common to bureaucracy, the insertion of so many pungent Anglo-Saxon expletives relating to or synonymous with copulation creates...
...Brazil's petroleum from domestic wells. But the rising statistics of auto ownership obliges Brazil to import about 50% of its annual supply. The $260 million oil bill that car drivers run up more than offsets the savings on auto imports. As such, it is a primary factor in the country's painful balance-of-payments deficit...
