...sent early in 1967 into Buffalo, N.Y. to blitz the firmly entrenched Mafia operation of Stefano Magaddino. Stefano's son Peter, in whose home agents found more than $500,000 in cash as well as a clutch of weapons, has been prosecuted, among others, as a result of their efforts. Similar Strike Forces have now been set up in seven other cities, and so far, 320 indictments have been filed-and 60 convictions obtained-as a result of the teams' efforts. Nixon's organized-crime message proposed putting Strike Forces into a total of 20 cities...
Last week, by a vote of six to two, the Supreme Court reversed Davis' conviction and, in effect, declared the practice of dragnet arrests unconstitutional. More surprising to lawyers, the court held that any evidence-including fingerprints-gathered as a result of dragnets is inadmissible. Though the decision was overshadowed by the implications of the court's voiding of state-residency requirements for welfare recipients (see THE NATION), it could eventually have considerable impact on police procedures...
Protection at Home. Only one in five Japanese families now owns an auto but rising consumer affluence, the result of Japan's sustained economic prosperity, is changing that.

American automakers are worried about Japanese inroads, not only in the U.S. market, but in such places as Australia, South Africa and South America. As a result, Detroit has been putting pressure on Washington to force open the Japanese market in two ways. U.S. automen want Japan to lower such nontariff barriers as commodity sales taxes and road-use taxes based on car size. More important, they insist that Tokyo should ease its severe restrictions against foreign investment in Japanese manufacturing firms. General Motors Chairman James Roche recently called Japan "the most notorious" of the world's industrial countries...
...accepting child viewer with the prime requisites for motion pictures: 1) a star with fur, 2) adults who look foolish (as Merrill does when he tries, by flapping his arms, to teach a gosling to fly), and 3) no love scenes except those between otter and otter. The result is little otters, making Ring of Bright Water the best sex-education film ever to get a G rating...
