...does not need a legal document to make it live." Plainly, the U.S. is edgy because Moscow has become India's chief armorer and the most influential foreign power in New Delhi-despite $9 billion in American aid over the past two decades, roughly six times the Soviet outlay...
...angry Arab nationalists, even from Saudi Arabia, on the sly. Today the boycott costs Israel up to $10 million a year, paid out in commissions to middlemen representing firms that will not deal directly with Israel.

...Kennedy-Griffiths bill would not, however, reduce the country's total outlay for health, which now comes to nearly $68 billion.

There is no reason to believe that the Kennedy-Griffiths plan, the administration of which would...
...pick up a major share of the antipollution bill. Increasingly, factories are being equipped with antipollution gear, ranging from costly precipitators and scrubbers to simple fish tanks, whose occupants serve as living testers of contaminants.

To install such complete controls in older plants, the company adds, would be prohibitively expensive. Though local conservationists are pleased, they are waiting to see if full production and long-term activity cause unforeseen problems. Meanwhile, bass fishing is still good in the bayou, and U.S. Steel appears to have demonstrated that industry may no longer be able to say that it can't be done...
