...clearly was heeding his political advisers, who have been urging him to grab what credit he can for easing the withholding bite on American paychecks. If this year's tax cuts are not extended, a typical worker will find his weekly paycheck reduced by $3 to $10 after Jan. 1. In fact the tax cut will have to be increased from about $8 billion to $12 billion a year to prevent even a slight rise in withholding rates. Reason: the cuts now in effect began May 1, so for 1975 twelve months of withholding-rates reductions were squeezed into...

Since the movie opened last month, O has become a major news story in France. Radio and TV programs endlessly debate the film's merits. The weekly L'Express featured Actress Corinne Cléry, who plays the film's tortured protagonist...
...wedding scene. So it was hardly surprising when a Hong Kong tabloid reported last week that Rooney, 54, had settled on Wife No. 8. "At long last I've found the girl of my dreams," the newspaper reported Mickey as saying, adding that he planned to wed Jan Chamberlain, 25, a singer-composer whom he has known for eight years. Not surprising, perhaps, to anyone but the supposed groom, who is now in Hong Kong working on a film. "I'm really sick of Mickey Rooney getting married," complained the star, as he denied the reports. "Who gives...
