After learning that Senator Robert F. Kennedy was planning to address the University of Mississippi Law School in mid-March, Columnist Tom Ethridge of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger expounded on Southern hospitality. "It is hoped that Mississippi authorities can guarantee the safety of Senator Kennedy when and if he visits Oxford," Ethridge wrote.

If tax revenues do not meet expectations, the Government may have to turn to a tax increase -a move that up to now the Administration has insisted it is not seriously considering. Come what may, the budget...
