...skeptical of "free world" rhetoric. But, as Scheer said in his speech at the demonstration, those who employ that rhetoric have a duty to be consistent. It was not courteous to refer to Krushchev as "the butcher of Budapest." But if Krushchev was the butcher of Budapest then McNamara and Johnson are the butchers of Vietnam. If my hypothetical Moscow U. students would have been profoundly in order "physically confronting" Krushchev, then 800 Harvard students were profoundly in order in physically confronting McNamara.

Though Detroit calls them specialty cars, buyers refer to them more naturally as sports cars. With one available in just about any price range from Mustang's $2,461 to Eldorado's $6,277, young-in-heart drivers of all ages are snapping them up.

Finance Minister Anne Vondeling's newest budget calls for cutbacks on outlays for housing, defense and the age-old battle against the sea that the Dutch refer to as "water control." The government has also speeded up tax collections, raised gasoline and diesel-fuel taxes, and is keeping on an extra 1% tax on corporation profits initiated by an earlier government. But at the same time, the government, in various welfare programs, is spending more than ever. Next year, expenditures will exceed the current year's budget...
