...TIME wasted a great many pages trying to point out reasons for the huge Nixon lead over McGovern in the polls [Oct. 2]. A single paragraph in the issue tells the reason: Americans are sick and tired of hearing people attack their country.

...York, he detailed a program for combating crime with gun-control laws, additional foot patrolmen, tenant patrols, a "national light-the-streets" plan and other ideas. In Cleveland he turned to foreign policy (see following story). This week, in a half-hour national television address, he will spell out his specific plan for getting the U.S. out of Viet Nam.

The rich profit greatly from investment credits and advanced depreciation. In the short run, unfortunately, while the rich become wealthier the unemployed remain jobless. Richard Nixon is the modern version of Robin Hood he steals from...
Shaw gave advice to photographers on photography (he was a fanatic for "scientific timing" in the darkroom) and to printers on printing. He instructed Poet Laureate Robert Bridges about phonetic spelling: "If we do not spell words as they are pronounced, our readers will pronounce words as they are spelt." And he lectured practically everybody on love...
