...anti-inflationary measure. He was notably less keen on tax reform at this time. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield warned the President that he could not have the surtax without reform?and managed to impose this view on Finance Chairman Russell Long, a Louisiana Democrat to whom 27½% oil-depletion allowance is most precious the reform-bill cuts the allowance to 20%). As Senate Democrats were squabbling, however, Long's House counterpart, Ways and Means Chairmen Wilbur Mills, who cherishes the House's constitutional prerogative to originate revenue measures, felt the public pulse and went ahead with what turned into...

Such a job is usually not needed until a car has been driven 60,000 miles. Since most motorists scrap or sell their cars before reaching that milestone, they seldom discover that additives do not do all that their makers claim...
