...fake bonuses to employees in the know, always being careful to deduct the proper withholding taxes, and then scooped them back for secret donations to politicians. The contractors in question worked on, among other things, state roads and two huge bridge-building projects in the Baltimore-Annapolis area: the parallel span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which opened last June and provides a second, four-mile-long bridge for traffic across the bay, and an interstate-highway bridge over Baltimore harbor. The two projects were financed by a $220 million bond issue approved by the state legislature...
Huge hand-painted signs on plants lining the highway that winds out of Santiago parallel to the Andes foothills proclaim the new order: workers, not management, will run Chile's industry. The takeovers were initiated by Allende during last June's abortive coup (TIME, July 7). At the time, Allende saw such actions as the first step in mobilizing the workers to save his government against the possibility that the army would prove disloyal. It did not.

Rosenblatt echoes many instructors who have taught alumni summer sessions when he reviews his experience: "Undergraduates and graduates are aware of the limitations of literary analysis. They don't ask questions pertaining to their own lives...
...under critical questioning, Mitchell contended that he had made no parallel effort to persuade other knowledgeable officials to withhold similar facts from the President, and he denied taking any action to keep the arrested conspirators silent. Considering Mitchell's overriding concern for Nixon's reelection, his efforts to "keep the lid on," as he put it, seemed much too limited to ensure the President's insulation. To admit broader activities, of course, could make Mitchell-who was not testifying under any grant of immunity against criminal prosecution-more susceptible to a charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice...
