...situation, both the President and Congress showed signs of speeding up last week. The House Ways and Means Committee approved a tax cut substantially higher than that originally requested by Ford. The President had sought a $16 billion tax reduction, most of it in 1974 rebates with a limit of $1,000 for each individual. Ways and Means approved a $21.3 billion cut that is weighted much more heavily in favor of lower-income groups. The measure provides for a 1974 rebate of $8.1 billion. It rebates all taxes paid up to $100, and 10% of all taxes...
...often, however, self-restraint has failed. The Tripartite Declaration of 1950, in which the U.S., France and Britain pledged to limit the flow of weapons into the Middle East, broke down four years later when the French agreed to supply Israel with tanks and planes. Even the tvso superpowers, for all the months of negotiating at the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, have not been able to ban anything but the anti-ballistic missile, the effectiveness of which was seriously doubted anyway...

(Edelin's abortion produced a fetus of 600 gm. after a gestation that he had estimated at about 20 weeks.) Between 24 and 28 weeks is a gray zone in which few fetuses attain the weight or organ development needed to survive outside the womb. It is only...
...which is now being developed, it should be able to skim great distances over land or water (as far as 1,500 miles). while eluding enemy radar defenses. (In contrast, ballistic missiles follow high, arcing trajectories, which make them more vulnerable to radar detection.) Because the recent Vladivostok arms-limitation accord does not specifically limit cruise missiles, some strategists are even beginning to think of them as first-strike weapons against Soviet missile silos or military bases...
...that we are trying to limit what have become ridiculously enormous presidential campaign expenditures, it seems to me that with the exception of the President, the politicians who have declared or are declaring their candidacies for President some 20 months or more in advance of the election are giving us a good reason for not voting for them...
