...double aim of both relaxing tensions and yet remaining tough with Moscow. Legitimate questions can be raised about the manner in which he has executed the policy, but there is little serious basic disagreement with its aims. Yet attacks on it have deteriorated to demagogic slogans. Other Kissinger troubles grow from his habit of making off-the-rec-ord remarks that seem to conflict with his public statements-remarks that almost invariably get distorted when leaked. A case in point is his speech to an assembly of U.S. ambassadors in London last December. There he argued that American efforts...
...opposed to a national average of 1.8 per cent. This overutilization of the property tax is more shocking when one learns that the system is applied in an inequitable manner. A huge percentage of the land in Alabama is held by paper companies, which use the land to grow timber. Property tax assessment of the land is based on the last selling price of the land. Since the paper companies have owned much of their land for decades, the companies often pay only a few pennies an acre on extremely valuable land. In Montgomery County, for example, large tracts...

Now, says one New Bedford fisherman, "with the foreign invaders gone, perhaps our industry can grow a little." Seven spanking new steel-stern trawlers, worth upwards of $250,000 each, have already appeared alongside New Bedford's mostly wooden, archaic vessels. There are even predictions that the annual catch off New England might triple in as little as five years to a value of more than...
