...which will probably be the most hotly disputed part of the program. (At present, only half of capital gains-profits on the sale of assets, such as stock or real estate, held for more than nine months-are taxed.)

It made ample use of the diaries that Waugh began in 1911 at age seven and continued, on and off, until a year before he died in 1966.
