...profits, which he paid five years later after selling the lots for $150,000. That left Nixon a profit of $66,762. On his 1972 tax return, he showed a capital gain of $17,424?and paid tax on it. Presumably, his 1973 return will reflect the remaining $49,338. Splitting the amount between the two years was proper because the purchaser did not make his last payment until January 1973.

Only two of the 36 songs--"Frere Jacques" and "Au Clair de la Lune"--were not written by Americans. The book, for example, includes the work of Al Jolson ("California Here I Come") but ignores that of Wolfgang Mozart ("Symphony No. 39 in E flat," "The Marriage of Figaro"). Nowhere in the songbook is the music of Ludwig van Beethoven ("The Fifth Symphony," "Missa Solemnis"), another talented foreigner. In fairness to editor Michael Scheff, it must be noted that Beethoven disliked...
