...Brigades kidnapers, is also believed to have participated in the killings of Moro's five bodyguards, three police officers, two court officials and a newspaper editor. Though police had spotted him six weeks earlier, they refrained from making an immediate swoop. Instead, police in disguise kept him under constant surveillance. This classic counterespionage maneuver paid off. Just six hours after Alunni's capture, police picked up one more suspected Red Brigades terrorist in what promises to be a roundup. Said a jubilant officer of the antiterrorist squad: ''Finally, the Moro murder investigation is going bellissimo...
...wide range of issues related to tax policy kept coming up at the conference. Blumenthal discussed the Administration's tax strategy as part of the overall fight on inflation, and stressed that the Government cannot wage that battle alone. "There are contributions by labor and by industry that are required also. The President in the next few days will be considering additional options, and I am sure we will be appealing to business and labor for additional help and additional sacrifices." That sounded like a call for a kind of social compact to keep wage and price boosts moderate...
These allegations are clearly exaggerated. Stringent enforcement of security measures has kept fissionable materials safe-the country already handles such hazardous substances as explosives and deadly chemicals-without impinging upon personal freedoms. The U.S. decision not to sell uranium-enrichment and reprocessing technology abroad will do nothing to prevent weapons proliferation. Indeed, it will cost America its chance to control international traffic in nuclear materials. France and the Soviet Union are reprocessing nuclear fuels for shipment to other countries...
...many people, though, the question seemed virtually unAmerican. For months sociologists kept busy stomping all over Coleman's findings. His conclusions were premature, they said. There was no hard proof that white flight from city schools, already a phenomenon before the threat of busing, was significantly increased by busing. And even if such a connection might one day be proved, the condition was likely to be short-lived. In any case it would take years to measure the matter adequately. Three years have passed. Now comes a new study that has the advantage of being able...
...school improvements-for instance, a court-ordered increase in the number of "magnet" schools to draw qualified whites and blacks from all corners of a city-and vigorously promoted voluntary school integration. The only hopeful example he gives, however, is San Diego. Using a voluntary system, the city has kept the level of white flight down (below 6% per year). But the increase in the actual number of whites and nonwhites going to school together-the real aim of integration-has been small. A similar failure to achieve much actual integration occurs in many forced-busing cities, as Armor keeps...
