...system, at least 55% of the premium dollar should go to compensate traffic victims. There is a widespread feeling that this is not enough, and there are complaints about soaring rates, controversial policy cancellations and slow payment of claims. Some critics demand more federal regulation, along with a radical overhaul of the whole system. A Senate subcommittee has started a root-andbranch investigation of auto insurers; President Johnson has ordered the Department of Transportation to make a two-year probe...

Unlike the loss of Thresher with 129 men aboard, Scorpion's demise appeared to have nothing to do with inadequate shipyard maintenance: she ostensibly got a "Four 0"-i.e., excellent -rating in an overhaul only last summer, and had performed superbly in the Mediterranean.

Border taxes, however, if applied broadly, would require a major overhaul of the U.S. tax system. Under GATT rules, before such levies can be made on imports, indirect taxes must first be collected on domestically manufactured products, though they can be rebated on exports. Another alternative is a 5% tariff surcharge, but the U.S. cannot lawfully impose one under GATT rules without a most unlikely special dispensation from its trading...
