While the first batch of Kennedy Round tariff reductions was going into effect last week, a wide assortment of other trade barriers loomed as high as ever. These are nontariff gimmicks designed to impede the inflow of foreign goods. Wine-producing France, for example, puts a crimp on bourbon and Scotch imports by prohibiting all whisky advertising. In Italy, foreign automakers find it difficult to buy prime time on the state-owned television. Switzerland not only restricts imports of milk products but gives special help-including price supports and low-cost feed-to Swiss dairymen whose cows graze in remote...

Thus farmers had to hire domestic field hands, who demand higher wages and are reluctant to do such backbreaking "stoop labor...
...Austin slaughter breathed new life into a bill now before Congress, sponsored by Connecticut's Senator Thomas Dodd, which would 1) severely limit interstate mail-order handgun shipments; 2) limit the inflow of military-surplus firearms from abroad; 3) ban over-the-counter handgun sales to out-of-state buyers and anybody under 21; and 4) prohibit longarm sales to persons under 18.

When the half-heart pump is next used, which may be within a couple of weeks, DeBakey's mechanical-minded research assistant, Surgeon William Aker, will have made some minor modifications. In DeRudder's case, the two main inflow and outflow tubes, stitched into his left auricle and aorta, were led to a plastic frame, 1½ in. thick, implanted in the chest wall. The hemispherical pump was attached externally to this. The connecting tips of the frame for the pump will be modified to make the surgery simpler and therefore quicker...
Armament at Will. Compounding the problem is a ceaseless inflow of weapons from abroad. In the past two years, almost 2,500,000 pistols and rifles were imported into the U.S. from England, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. In addition, war-surplus heavy weaponry, such as bazookas and antitank guns, is permitted to come into the U.S. from abroad, and may be purchased in many places at will...
