...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...
Actually Hansen was an already happily married East German escapee named Peter Selle. 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. Pondering various schemes to get Barbara out, he had hit on the idea of finding a West German girl who resembled her closely, luring the girl to East Berlin and then filching her documents. Winsome Dorothea Voss seemed to fit the bill, and the scheme worked perfectly. Once in West Berlin the reunited couple sped...
...Einstein's work, Hoyle's apple stealing is more ambitious larceny. His new theory stems from the Mach Principle, that the mass* of every object in the universe is affected by its interaction with every other object. Einstein tried to incorporate the Mach principle in his own scheme of the universe and admittedly failed. Hoyle claims to have succeeded...
...American flag and lives to tell about it. 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...
