Americans (55%) are dissatisfied with the way these "yardsticks" are working, undoubtedly because they believe that store prices are rising faster than paychecks. Stein gave a hint of Nixon's future response by remarking that "the possibility of permanent price controls, until they break down of their own contradictions, is probably enhanced by the election of someone other than Mr. Nixon." His comment raised the intriguing possibility that the President, having imposed the broadest economic controls since the Korean War, might campaign for re-election on a promise to abolish them...
What does it all mean? For one thing, the evidence continues to refute the old theory that the moon's interior is cold and geologically inactive. More important, the findings hint that the moon, like the earth, probably was formed out of the collisions of countless chunks of primordial material. Shortly thereafter the newborn moon was rapidly heated, possibly by its radioactive elements, and underwent surface melting about 4.5 billion years ago. In contrast with delegates to previous "rock conferences," the experts assembled this year were unusually reticent about advancing new theories on the moon's evolution. Said...

He is Vladimir Bakarić, 59, who is a member of the Executive Bureau in Belgrade, which is the party's equivalent of a collective federal presidency. He favors greater economic and political autonomy for Croatia but within the framework...
What the Blazes. In arguing for the raise, sympathetic M.P.s made the point that the Queen performs her extensive state duties with skill, dignity and without the slightest hint of indiscretion. "The total cost of all aspects of the monarchy." said the Chancellor of the Exchequer, "does not much exceed the cost of the embassy in Washington." Some Laborites, however, objected to voting the increase at a time when nearly 1,000,000 Britons are out of work and the government is trying to hold union wage demands to 5%. Mainly, the dissenters concentrated their fire on the raises...
