...dynamite. A loose narrative about a TV cameraman during last summer's Chicago convention, Cool is the most impassioned and impressive film released so far this year. Cinematographer Haskell Wexler makes a dazzling directorial debut by fusing dramatic and documentary footage into a vivid portrait of a nation in conflict with itself...
L.C.N. is a foreign pirate government at war with our nation. Americans who become citizens of the underground state of L.C.N. renounce their U.S. citizenship and the civil rights that go with it. Their renunciation, de facto though it may be, could open the legal door for the Government to plan a coordinated military attack on L.C.N.

Labor Secretary George Shultz has been meeting since May with Harvard Economist John Dunlop and other experts to explore ways to contain construction costs. Shultz hopes to induce contractors and construction...
...state and its duties, human folly in general, human greed in particular. But his book is a useful and often fascinating corrective to much current theorizing about liberalism, government and decentralization. There is considerable evidence, moreover, that many Americans, growing as generally outraged about the state of the nation as Ralph Nader specifically was about the quality of U.S. automobiles, are willing to take stern measures to be sure that the machinery of government is well made and well...
