Relief Provisions. Although the Finance Committee measure stops short of the "relief and reform" bill passed by the House last August, it still represents a major step toward equalizing the federal tax burden. Using the House bill as a guide, the Finance Committee removed 5,200,000 low-income taxpayers from the tax rolls entirely, and voted rate reductions averaging 5% for those in all but the highest income categories by 1972. It also approved an increase in the 10% or $1,000 standard deduction now claimed by most taxpayers, lifting it by stages to a new maximum...
...inside. He has scoured the record of Judge Clement F. Haynsworth, Jr., and has flatly rejected as character assassination the conflict of interest charges Democrats have leveled against the Supreme Court nominee. His efforts have produced one notable success so far: he was responsible for the resignation of Major General Carl Turner as Chief U.S. Marshal before the recent Army scandal broke involving kickbacks and payoffs in the operation of NCO clubs...
Franco had two contending groups from which to choose. One was the Falange, the blue-shirted quasi-fascist organization that helped catapult him to power during the Civil War and has been a major source of his political strength ever since.

It was Opus Dei last week that gained the Franco patrimony. At least ten of the 19 members of the new Cabinet are associated with...
...women of the famed research center that bears his name. Now marking its 25th anniversary, the Weizmann Institute for Science has grown from an obscure agriculture station in the desert town of Rehovot, 15 miles south of Tel Aviv, to a 250-acre complex with 17 major departments that explore everything from atomic physics and molecular biology to seismology. Even the Arabs recognize its importance. It was one of the first targets that Radio Cairo claimed had been destroyed during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war-though not a single Egyptian plane ever appeared over Rehovot...
...that dinosaur remains had been discovered in a stone quarry near Manchester, Conn., Yale University's Othniel Charles Marsh, a pioneering paleontologist, rushed off to see for himself. Sure enough, there were the fossilized bones of a small (7-ft.-long) creature that was later identified as Ammosaurus major, an inhabitant of the area 200 million years ago. But Marsh was already too late. The dinosaur's front half had already been carted away; the brownstone in which the fossils were encased had been cut into blocks and cemented into a new highway bridge...
