...stamped for export almost from her birth on April 27, 1937, in Hastings, Neb. (pop. 15,412), where her father, Jack Dennis, was a bakery driver-salesman who also happened to have a tested IQ of 160. After the war, Jack joined the post office as a railway mail clerk based in Lincoln (pop. 98,884), where Sandy was mainly raised. Her mother toiled as a secretary, lest their daughter ever be unindulged. Sandy, after all, was a quick, creative child who read ferociously long before she got to school. Later on, she regularly gobbled six or seven books...
...Fowler, echoing Ecclesiastes. "Now is the time and the season for this tax increase." Members of the House Ways and Means Committee did not exactly greet Fowler's message as Holy Writ. Their refractory mood was shared by most of their congressional co'leagues. With constituents' mail all but unanimously opposed to President Johnson's proposed 10% surcharge on corporate and personal income taxes, Capitol Hill was loudly unconvinced of the Administration's economic and political sagacity in seeking a tax boost this fall...
...ways to bring down everything from varmints to Viet Cong. But lately they have been devoting more space and fervor to a campaign against legal control of gun sales.

The latest issue of the American Rifleman insinuates that such backers of the Dodd bill as Defense Secretary...
...leading crusader against gun controls. Halsey, a South Carolinian who was an editor of the Saturday Evening Post for 18 years, runs articles in every issue lauding the man with a gun. The July issue, which contains an admiring account of the military sniper throughout history, arrived in the mail just as snipers began shooting in the ghettos. Halsey has also expanded a regular feature called "The Armed Citizen," which reports the derring-do of shopkeepers and housewives who have gunned down intruders. "Of course, the column omits stories of innocent people who are killed in these encounters," notes Carl...
...magazine readers are un usually vocal. They write in to express their approval of the magazines' stand on gun laws, and they swamp Congress with mail. One reason they are roused to such a pitch is that the magazines assure them that the Dodd bill will result in confiscation of all arms. During the hearings on his bill, Dodd charged Guns & Ammo Publisher Thomas Siatos with "maliciously misrepresenting" the bill. Siatos replied that he was merely "editorializing." Nonetheless, the gun magazines feel aggrieved at their treatment by some of the press. The American Rifleman plans to establish...
