...Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists proposes as a next step higher licensing fees and fines for violations of leash laws, to "encourage more responsible pet ownership"; the added revenue would go to sterilization clinics. The authors also advocate a tax on pet food-1% would yield $25 million a year-to be used, for example, to finance shelters for abandoned or unwanted pets and underwrite educational programs. Pet lovers have also urged the creation of compulsory high school courses and adult seminars in animal behavior...
...toddler's leash had restrained her childhood exuberance, but Myrtle Anderson did not know how to stop Joan's postcurfew carousing or curb her iron spirit. Says Joni: "It was then and still is a constant war to liberate myself from values not applicable to the period in which I live." At 19, after a brief try at art school in Calgary, Joan decided to become a professional musician.

...Short Leash. Once the jury was chosen, Judge Sirica unsealed a number of previously submitted defense motions calling for Nixon's testimony at the trial.

In any case that might affect possible criminal prosecutions of Nixon aides, by either the special prosecutor or the Justice Department, the ex-President will not receive such legal help...
...which could serve to increase international tension." The Russians clearly violated that article by not alerting the U.S. before the outbreak, even though they had advance warnings of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's intentions (see story page 32). Assuming that the Russians would keep the Arab armies on a leash, the Israelis, to their regret, completely misjudged the Arab buildup, and they failed to see that it was a prelude to war. U.S. intelligence contends that it has evidence that Moscow began preparations to send three airborne divisions to Egypt when the counterattacking Israelis approached Cairo. The threat of Soviet...
