...surtax reduction will be possible. On the other hand, a tax reduction could well touch off a new round of inflation. With the inflation threat obviously in mind, Pierre Rinfret, Manhattan economic consultant and another Nixon adviser, conceded in London last week that Nixon might conceivably have to retain the surcharge, or even raise taxes. "I don't think," said Rinfret, "that the surcharge can be eliminated easily...
...unreasonable not to think, as Marvin L. Minsky, head of M.I.T.'s Artificial Intelligence Lab, said two years ago, that "machines could become nearly as intelligent as we are and then stop, or to suppose we will always be able to compete with them . . . Whether or not we could retain some sort of control of the machines, assuming that we would want to, the nature of our activities and aspirations would be changed utterly by the presence on earth of intellectually superior beings...
...bombing halt and if Humphrey's defeat had been worse. As it turned out, the cause lost some of its urgency; McCarthy, instead of being a major voice for reform, became more than ever a voice crying out in a wilderness of his own making.

New Mexico's David Cargo, 39, barely squeaked past Democrat Fabian Chavez in a down-to-the-wire race...
...carved out his kingdom just as he proposes to carve up the map of England for his daughters. As a kind of self-made king, he falls into the first of his blindnesses, the idea that he can give away his possessions and his crown and yet retain power in his person alone. Cobb reveals how the fool in Lear is intrinsically a child. This 80-year-old is an eight-year-old in disguise, throwing temper tantrums against daughters whom he has naively empowered to switch roles with him. Regan and Goneril are, in effect, a stern, unyielding common...
