...Hopper. At least half a dozen plans for U.S. national health insurance have now been formally proposed and introduced in Congress or are in their final drafting stages. None of these originated in Finch's HEW, and none is likely to. In its concern for budget balancing and combating inflation, the Nixon Administration does not sufficiently recognize the potential savings -certainly in health and lives, if not in money-from a national program to insure health care, including preventive medicine...
...fair has plenty to offer the Japanese and wondrous sights to please the eye of the international fair-hopper. The U.S. Pavilion, where the lines and the wait (as much as five hours) are the longest, is most popular. Sports and space -sure winners in Japan-dominate the "Images of America" theme.

It was not merely that everyone he knew used marijuana and bitterly resented the white cops who tried to deprive them of it. They also regarded World War II as a white establishment disaster, like Viet...
...overdrawn wrongos of his Dad's old oaters, and its bloody ending reminiscent of the Emperor Nero's desire to attend his own funeral. Today Peter has evolved an elaborate ambiguity to justify its action-comic wanderers, Wyatt and Billy, and the mindless violence of their redneck antagonists. "Dennis Hopper and I represent a complete misunderstanding of what freedom's all about," he claims. "Both concepts are untenable, whether it's scoring and wanting to retire to Florida and ride around on your chopper, or whether it's just making money off of people...
