...however popular the idea. A cut would stimulate consumer spending, probably deny the Nixon Administration a budget surplus as a means of cooling off the economy, and throw the whole burden of combatting inflation onto a continued tight-money policy-to the distress of both home buyers and businessmen. In the longer run, a tax cut would absorb much of any "peace dividend" from lower spending on Viet Nam, thus dissipating funds that are needed to meet the pressing needs of the cities...
THAT man has wronged me. Society has wronged me. We'll kill whatever pigs are in that house. Go in there and get them." With those raging orders from their Rasputin-like leader, a band of hippies, clad in black, allegedly broke into a secluded Los Angeles home last August.

If U.S. military manpower needs remain unchanged, the armed forces will have...

One of the witnesses was an Athenian housewife named Anastasia Tsirka, who was arrested late in 1967 after police agents in a midnight raid found three pamphlets from underground political groups in her home. To find out who had given her the documents, Asphalia (secret police) agents took Mrs. Tsirka, then two or three months pregnant, to their headquarters on Bouboulinas Street for questioning...
