Lyndon Johnson is also being urged by some of his aides to present a list of major legislative requests to the Democratic-controlled Congress. Among them: comprehensive tax reform to close existing loopholes and modify the oil-depletion allowance; an expansion of child-health programs; and a new package of consumer-protection measures, including one dealing with the quality of eggs. Even if the President were to make the requests, the chances of enacting any of them before Jan. 20 are nil. But such a maneuver would give congressional Democrats a program to work with-perhaps at the expense...
...height of the Polish government's campaign of anti-Semitism last year, a top security official handed Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki a list of 14 Jewish diplomats with instructions to fire them. The charge: all were "politically unreliable" because of their Jewish backgrounds. Rapacki refused to go along with the purge, which he correctly viewed as an attempt to get rid of his own moderate allies in the ministry.

The result: last week the U.S. announced that 50 military areas would be returned, relocated or shared with Japan's forces...

And many of the items on the U.S. roster were small indeed: a brace of tiny and long-unused airstrips near Tokyo, a handful of gunnery ranges, a maneuver area near the base of Mt. Fuji, a golf course and a laundry...
...past, taped NET programs were airmailed from a duplication and distribution center in Ann Arbor, Mich., to the first group of the 148 public-TV stations on the list. After the first channels had aired the show, they would mail it to the second group of stations. By the time the show reached the final stations on the list, the delay might be as long as nine weeks. As a result, NET documentaries tended to lack immediacy when they were not totally out of date...
