...whole truth can never be known, the partial observations that make up the commission's report are dreadful enough. In a 300-page book delivered last month, it offered the most exhaustive study of U.S. crime to be made in decades. It described a situation so bleak that it threatens the very foundation of the Great Society. It painted a picture so ominous that the implications have yet to be fully appreciated by legislator or layman. The overall crime rate has been spiraling dizzily year after year: it shot up 13% in 1964, 5% in 1965, another 11% last...
...partial account of Mao Tse-tung's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution? Not at all. The Chinese ruler who acted thus was called Shih Huang Ti, the Emperor famed for constructing the Great Wall. In the 3rd century B.C., he forcibly united most of China around the northeastern state of Ch'in and established a tyrannical rule that was soon swept away in civil war.

"For them," says Father Murphy, "each accident, whether serious or extremely minor, is a partial suicide...
...bearing time deposits that banks must keep on hand as unlendable reserves. The change applies only to the first $5,000,000 of a bank's total time deposits; anything over that remains under the stiff 6% reserve requirement imposed during last summer's credit squeeze. This partial easing will free an additional $850 million for lending, mostly in 5,945 rural and small-city banks. Bankers can already lend about $7 for every $1 they have in reserves, and this "multiplier effect" will therefore allow the newly liberated $850 million to ripple through the economy...
