...intervention, the risk of nuclear war of course can never be totally ruled out. To gain further insight, therefore, the questionnaire posited U.S. military intervention short of nuclear war.

Tichauer shows little interest in the marketing and profit potentials of his designs. In any event, many of them are unpatentable-a fact that may help explain why the industries that consult him sometimes treat his suggestions as trade secrets.

To help the poor, the Administration proposes a "lowincome allowance." It would reduce the taxes now paid by the 5,300,000 Americans (of a total of 26 million) whose annual incomes are near the official poverty line ($3,535 for a family of four). Some 2,000,000 families would be excused from taxes altogether. Above the poverty line, low-income persons and families would...
