...Unlike the 1960 platform, the plank summarily rejects a medical-aid plan financed and administered through social security. The G.O.P. favors "full coverage of all medical and hospital costs of needy elderly people, financed by general revenues through broader implementation of federal-state plans, rather than the compulsory Democratic scheme covering only a small percentage of such costs for everyone regardless of need...

Upon leaving the real Dorothea, he had dashed to an East Berlin rendezvous with his wife Barbara, whom he had left behind when he fled to West Germany a year ago.

But Fieldcrest insists "Three Cheers" is merely "a salute to colorful living," with any associations flagwise purely coincidental and absolutely not intended. The colors are red, white and blue, all right, but Betsy Ross didn't patent the scheme. And, most important, the stars and stripes never appear together at the same time on the same sheet, pillowcase or reversible bath towel (stars or stripes, never both, border the sheets, mix or match with towels and pillowcases in overall prints of either pattern). As a final disclaimer, the sheet and pillowcase...

...influential thinkers and doers are U.S.-based. But because the big and free U.S. economy has little want or need for central-development plans, these economists usually exercise their greatest influence in foreign countries. M.I.T.'s highly regarded Paul Rosenstein-Rodan helped draw up the industry-priming development scheme for southern Italy (main feature: tax breaks for new industries), and is a regular consultant to the Alliance for Progress. Students around the world learn the fundamentals of economics from Paul Samuelson, another M.I.T. professor, whose textbook, Economics, is a standard in at least ten languages. The chief U.S. representative...
