...noted dissenting opinion, Supreme Court Justice Holmes once described wire tapping as "dirty business." Whatever the moral force of Holmes' statement, wire tapping is apparently here to stay as a standard police procedure. More than thirty states allow the use of wire tap evidence in their courts and only two explicitly forbid it. Here in Massachusetts, the Attorney General and district attorneys can authorize the tapping of any telephone for any reason, restrained only by their own sense of propriety. The legislature again has the opportunity to correct that situation by approving Senate Bill 42, which provides effective safeguards against...
Weston makes something for everyone -slightly salted "Tavern Appetizers," spicy gingersnaps, big "Wagon Wheel" chocolate cream wafers and sweet "Shortcakes" for dessert, breads that go from "Ryvita" health bread to the standard "National Loaf" sandwich bread that is a staple of Britain's diet.

...goods (21% of all exports), while the U.S. is Latin America's No. 1 buyer (48% of its exports). Yet it is far from a happy business partnership. The reason is that the southern flow of U.S. capital is far below the level needed to raise the standard of living of Latin America's population, now expanding 25% faster than that...
...proof of that fact, private U.S. investment in Latin America already totals $7 billion. But to give a modest 2% annual boost to its low standard of living, Latin America needs $7.25 billion a year in new investment, v. the $5.9 billion now being generated from all sources. Even if Latin American capital could be tapped more effectively, another $1 billion annually will be needed from abroad...
This trend is not new, nor is it likely to become standard procedure for future novelists. In the Thirties the group labeled "Esoterics" practiced it with varying degrees of transient success. Andre Gide in France, by giving his works the title of novels perhaps broadened beyond all reason the size qualifications of a novelist. These works are really not novels at all, but allegorical essays, lacking "mass" and concentrating fully on style and theme...
