Nixon was also artfully placating Southerners on certain sensitive issues. The Miami Herald managed to get a tape recorder into one of the private sessions (see THE PRESS). In the transcript it printed later, which Nixon's spokesmen did not knock down, he explained his public support of this year's open-housing civil rights bill as a matter of political tactics rather than conviction. "I felt then and I feel now," said the transcript, "that conditions are different in different parts of the country." But he wanted the issue "out of our sight" so as not to divide...
...reinstated under the administration of Mayor Loeb. Such wrist-spanking discipline deepens Negro frustration. So does the chest-thumping of Fire and Police Director Frank Holloman, who recently promised an applauding white civic club that if Memphis' Negroes revert to "lawlessness," as he put it, "we'll knock them on their ass." There was further frustration when a bid by Negroes to prevent a sales-tax rise-partly to finance a 50-man increase in the police force-was defeated. The tax hike passed 3 to 2, which is roughly the ratio of whites to Negroes in Memphis...
...hung in the balance for days. Now, after two delicate brain operations, Rudi is out of danger and recuperating "somewhere in Italy," according to an illustrated spread in West Germany's Stern magazine.

We still have an obligation to knock out a sensible and fair solution to the copyright problem." But the Supreme Court has strengthened the CATV bargaining position when negotiations resume. The cable owners are now no longer threatened with a demand for retroactive payments, and future fees might well be less onerous than CATV had expected. One possible...
...infielder. My dad, who was once a minor-league hurler (as you guys call us), wouldn't let me pitch; he was afraid I'd get "Little League elbow." Now about that headhunting: absolutely not. If I deliberately tried to hit batters, I could knock down nine out of ten, like any other good pitcher. As for Vaseline, I never owned a jar of it. That's greasy kid stuff...
