...TIME'S own experience in the past twelve months, we are happy to be able to say that it was an excellent year. Early in 1966, our editorial staff gathered for a dinner at New York's Plaza Hotel, largely to socialize but also to hear a progress report on TIME. "The recognition for what we do individually goes to the magazine as a whole, with its great success and impact," said Managing Editor Otto Fuerbringer. So, without smugness, we take some satisfaction from the fact that financially this was our best in 44 years of publishing...
Despite the complaints from the other side, Wehner believes he can make progress toward bringing the two Germanys closer together. He plans to offer easy credit to encourage "inner-German trade," hopes eventually to set up a formal economic federation. To soothe Eastern feelings a bit, he has already ended Bonn's long insistence on referring to Ulbricht's realm only as "Soviet-occupied Germany"; the new official euphemism, calculated to be less offensive, is simply "the other Germany...

This is an unworthy argument; there are never grounds for concealing truth about public matters. (As best the truth can ever be had.) But it is also an absurd argument. The American public supports a fantastic array of social services, and does so in ever larger amounts. The issue, then, is not whether, but which...
...slogan: "The soldier is worth his hire." Friedman says that it is plainly unfair to punish a man by drafting him and then punish him a second time by forcing him to accept substandard wage. Again he argues from history: "Was not one of the great gains in the progress of civilization the conversion of taxes in kind to taxes in money? The elimination of the power of the noble or the sovereign to exact compulsory servitude...
