...eliminated numerous loopholes and inequities of pas tax legislation. At the same time, the Ford administration has judiciously encouraged corporate tax deducations in order to encourage investment and attendant generation of jobs in the private sector. With considerable vision, Ford has bucked the big-spending Democratic Congress in favor of fiscal responsibility. Through veto after veto he has condemned deficit spending and debasement of the currency as sure to destroy incentives to save, to invest and to create jobs...
Holtz, who is part coach, part faith healer and part song-writer, tried to reverse the dry rot afflicting the slumping Jets under Charlie Winner by dealing away highly-touted cornerback Roscoe Word and linebacker Godwin Turk and benching Alcorn A&M graduate Rich Sowells in favor of Schaefer Suggs, who was burned for a 79-yd. scoring hook-up between Bert Jones and Roger Carr on Sunday...
...retained indefinitely, partly to avoid the appearance of an abrupt departure from policies once sanctioned by Mao, but also to satisfy the Central Committee members who retain some sympathy for the radicals' views.

The bill was an especially important piece of revenge for the unions: they deeply resent...

The case aroused more than casual interest because Lenkner, 31, was the Roman Catholic priest who had presided at the Fadgens' 1972 marriage. When a Pittsburgh court found in Fadgen's favor, Lenkner appealed. The state supreme court, in a 3-to-2 decision this month, avowed that it holds "the institution of marriage in the highest regard," but added that "rapid legal and societal changes" had made the right to sue for criminal conversation an anachronism. The Fadgens, meanwhile, have split...
