...antismoking campaigns, the British government's has been no more successful than the U.S.'s. Though it has not imposed U.S.-style health warnings on cigarette packs, the Labor government took the drastic step of outlawing all cigarette commercials on television, last year persuaded cigarette manufacturers to limit other advertising as well. Nonetheless, half of all British adults remain on cigarettes, and the past two years have seen a steady increase in consumption among young people. Confronted with a tax-heavy price of 75? a pack, Britons seem largely indifferent to the health scare, economically they continue...

The second amendment, put forward by Ohio Republican Frank Bow, put an arbitrary limit of $131.5 billion...

(pop. 55,000) became the nation's first city to abolish de facto segregation in its public school system by setting a 10% minimum and 30% maximum limit on Negro enrollment in any of its schools, and by bussing Negro pupils to previously all-white or mostly white schools. Scholastically, White Plains' campaign has paid off. Negro pupils who attended integrated schools since first grade score from 5% to 15% higher on reading and arithmetic achievement tests than third-graders who took the same tests when integration began. Both these groups are doing better than...
