More than 100 officers and noncoms were arrested and flown off to prison in Oporto, and at week's end police were searching for civilian extremist leaders. Lisbon newspapers, which had largely become radical-propaganda tracts, were shut down; they will probably not print again until new moderate editors are installed. Strict rules were also promulgated to curb armed civilians, who helped create the atmosphere of anarchy. "An armed civilian is a dead civilian," warned one commando officer. President Costa Gomes even mentioned the possibility of holding parliamentary elections. The left would almost certainly be defeated in the voting...
...Small Print. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has now ruled that "potato chips made from dried potatoes" must be labeled exactly that, and the last four words must appear on the can in type at least half as large as the words potato chip (on Pringle's cans they now appear in small print easy to overlook). For good measure, the FDA slapped a similar restriction on makers of other "restructured" foods, like fish sticks made from minced fish. To P.&G.'s competitors, it is a hollow victory: Pringle's, after all, can still call...
...Star owes much to the misfortunes of the Washington Post. One night eight weeks ago, pressmen at the Post (circ. 534,000) walked off the job after sabotaging their presses, and eight of the paper's other unions followed. The strike left the Post struggling for weeks to print shrunken editions (48 pages, v. a typical 96) on borrowed presses. Much of the damaged equipment was quickly repaired, and the Post last week put out a 104-page paper. But the Post probably lost $4 million in advertising during the first five weeks of the strike, while the Star...
were fired. A palm print of Oswald's was on the rifle barrel, under its stock. The intact bullet recovered at the hospital and a fragment of the second bullet, found in the car, matched the rifling of the gun. Oswald's flight from his perch, which was handily obscured by boxes moved by a crew laying new flooring, was not as impossibly speedy as the critics contend. He was seen on the second floor by the building manager and a police officer about 90 seconds after the shooting. Warren Commission investigators retraced the same route from...
...describes in such detail. In the closing paragraphs of the book, Kozol lets on that he is in the process of writing another book, a battle plan for people working to fight "the process of indoctrination" within the U.S. public schools, a work he hopes will be in print within the year. Anticipating the criticism he correctly guessed he would receive in response to this book, he writes that readers should not blame him simply because he does not tell them what to do. "Demolition workers are not asked to be good architects as well," he writes...
