...governor has very few alternative sources of revenue to exploit. If he were governor of almost any other state, he could consider raising the rates of the graduated income tax applying to higher income groups. This is the sort of measure that most Massachusetts Democrats would like to recommend. But the graduated income tax is unconstitutional in Massachusetts, and an amendment must be passed by the state legislature in two separate sessions before it can be presented to the voters. Even if the bill passes the legislature approval by the electorate is far from assured. Facing well financed opposition...
...What mythical audience in never-never land do you have in mind when you complain about today's opera or concert audiences in America? They always applaud, even at the worst performances. The candy-munchers to whom you recommend bananas? In the 18th century they could buy oranges, but they might use them as weapons against the tenor. The score readers? In the 19th century, before the practice began of lowering the house lights during performances, people read the newspaper between arias. The latecomers?

...British roam the moors, the heaths and the braes; Swiss and French scale the Alps, while Arab and Hindu plod weary miles to reach Mecca or the Ganges.

...Proviso. The President threw down his spending plans like a gauntlet before those who have attacked his Great Society programs. "I have not come here tonight to ask for pleasant luxuries and for idle pleasures," said Johnson. "I have come here to recommend that you bring the most urgent decencies of life to all your fellow Americans." Then he put forth his faith and his warning for the coming session: "I believe that we can continue the Great Society while we fight in Viet Nam. But if there are some who do not believe this, then, in the name...
...ANTI-NAUSEA PILLS. Meclizine (Pfizer's Bonine) "is highly effective," says its manufacturer, "for the control of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy," as well as for motion sickness. Cyclizine (Burroughs Wellcome's Marezine) is widely prescribed for pregnant women, though the company does not specifically recommend it for them. European doctors said that some women who took the pills later bore malformed babies. Last January, Dr. Sadusk agreed that pregnant women should not take these drugs, then promptly reversed himself. Not until October did he approve a label warning: "Not for use by women who are pregnant...
