...probably unfair to lay the issue out along such sharp either/or lines. All that most Americans contributed to Apollo was enthusiasm and taxes. Rebuilding the cities, attacking poverty and scrubbing the air and water, demand unflagging personal commitment by almost everyone. Such efforts call for an unprecedented exercise in social engineering. They would require the development of new and ingenious management techniques; their expenditure of money and manpower would dwarf the cost of the technical teamwork that put men on the moon...
Tactical Point. Backing down from his insistence in April that members of the National Liberation Front would have to forswear Communism and lay down their arms before they would be allowed to vote, Thieu now stipulated only that the N.L.F.

Max, it seems, has this thing about money; he refuses to spend it, on himself or anyone else. Featuring sex, rebellion and kinky ads, the Barb grew into...
...insisted on default clauses that would make the purchasers liable should the paper fail for any reason, from staff negligence to earthquakes to sheriff's raids. The tribe agreed to the first liability, but balked at taking responsibility for acts of God or Ronald Reagan. There the matter lay until one morning last week when the tribe arrived at the office to discover that Max had made off with the subscription lists, some ad copy and an office machine. "An act of aggression," one angry tribesman cried...
