...German shepherd has served this country well in peace and war and he will survive this attack by you. I doubt that 100,000 of this nation's blind will turn on the companion who gives them guidance. Neither will the U.S. Army stop buying the shepherd to protect our soldiers in Viet Nam from the surprise onslaughts of the Viet Cong. Neither will I forget that a shepherd saved the life of my eldest son. Should I tell my little girl, aged 8, that she can't take our shepherd for a walk after school? Should...
Johnson promised that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare would write implementing regulations that would serve as "compassionate safeguards to protect deserving mothers and needy children." The President also acknowledged tacitly that the sentiment behind the restrictions has some validity. "The welfare system today," he said, "pleases no one," and is, in fact, "outmoded."

Was this the start of an internetwork auction? Decidedly no, says CBS's Salant. "We did not bid for anything, and we didn't offer anyone anything. We don't believe in payments for rights to a hard-news story. Dr. Barnard doesn...
Blocking the Whortleberries. Yet tax measures are not always the most far-reaching nontariff barriers to trade. Impoverished Ghana, trying to combat its balance of payments problem as well as protect fledgling native industries, has simply ruled out import licenses for 79 products ranging from suitcases to incense. Industrialized Britain departs from its otherwise liberal trade policy by banning virtually all coal imports. In Japan, which officially restricts imports as disparate as golf balls and electric generators, the government uses friendly persuasion to get importers to cut traffic in other goods that are not formally excluded...
