...were memos from Mark Felt-dubbed "one-liners" by investigators-giving Edward Miller explicit orders for break-ins and other illegal activities. The cabinet, say FBI sources, was tucked away in a corner of a little-used public room of the building and only came to light when a low-level employee suggested that it was an eyesore and should be thrown out. But it was opened first-and lo, the much-sought-after evidence was inside. Justice Department officials find the FBI's story bizarre to the point of incredibility-one calls it a "fairy tale."

More important, Healey also raised the thresholds of taxable income, liberating some 360,000 families at the poverty level from taxes altogether and softening the bite on low and middle income citizens-though only slightly.

This mix-up ironically stems from the academic year '76-'77, when freshman men were denied NDSL loan funds so that Harvard would have enough to continue its loans to upperclassmen. Radcliffe had plenty of NDSL money for everyone, but a number of freshman women thought they too were ineligible and did not apply for loans. When it was too late...
