Willing to Gamble. Theoretically, the limit should work no great hardship on the Administration. The figure is exactly what Nixon requested in his formal budget presentation. The catch is that spending during a fiscal year is almost always substantially above the estimate made earlier. If the House bill becomes law, any unexpected but necessary increase would force a curtailment elsewhere in a budget that is already relatively lean in domestic areas. Thus the restriction could severely limit the Administration's ability to deal with emergencies and handle such "uncontrollable spending" as interest on the national debt and Social Security...
...already unhappy relations be tween the U.S. and Peru took another turn for the worse last week. The latest trouble was caused by the seizure of an American fishing boat. The boat - the fourth U.S. tuna clipper taken captive this year - was fined for having violated the 200-mile limit claimed for Peru's territorial waters (the U.S. recognizes only a 12-mile limit for fishing rights).

Charging that it showed "open fornication" on the screen, Senator Everett Dirksen cited the film as yet another reason for supporting his bill to limit Supreme Court power in obscenity hearings. Had he seen the film himself? "Lord, no," the Senator rumbled. That, and six letters to the theaters, have been the sole Washington grumbles to date...
...because it doesn't permit taking into account the motivations of the actors in the drama." But once again, Flym the political idealist clashes with Flym the hard-nosed lawyer. "I guess it would be difficult to design a legal process that would not--as a rule--tend to limit the issues. But if you need to have an institution like the criminal process--and I think you do--you must decide what kind...
