...west San Fernando Valley, an hour's drive from the bureau. His house, for which he paid $89,000, stands beside an identical one for which his neighbor paid $29,950 in 1964. Without Proposition 13, Kane's taxes, now $1,441, would probably have gone to $3,565 after next year's assessments. Said Kane: "Even out here in the magic kingdom of Disneyland, a man's home is his castle. But that is no reason to tax it that way, especially when you have to gift wrap the trash to get it picked...
...been a critical fortnight in U.S. foreign policy, and one that U.S. officials figured had been highly successful. Carter had shown new vigor in handling challenges from overseas, and aides thought that he had gone far toward dispelling any notions, particularly in Moscow, that he was a pushover. They also argued that despite the fears of some NATO allies, the President had not gone too far. Noted a White House official: "We don't view all this as an inevitable escalation to another cold war.

Califano is also working vigorously to reduce the number of unwanted teen-age pregnancies. He was shocked when he first saw the HEW figures: one out of ten American teen-age girls becomes pregnant.

Though the cartel's impact on U.S. prices remains uncertain, the world price of uranium has gone from $6 a pound in 1972 to about $44 today. At worst, Gulf, which denies the charge, could be forced to pay $1 billion or more in damages to companies in the uranium business. McAfee predicts that, at most, the various court actions could cost Gulf no more than $360 million. Last week...
...Columnist James Reston asserted that had the ruling been in effect a few years ago, it could have prevented publication of the Pentagon papers by the Times and the pursuit of Watergate by the Washington Post. In the case of the Pentagon papers, he says, federal investigators could have gone right into the New York hotel room where the Times staffers were preparing the classified documents for publication and seized them, presumably as evidence of a theft. As for Watergate, Reston contends that the ruling would probably have enabled agents of the Nixon Administration, conceivably pursuing evidence of the breakin...
