Industry's problem is almost as complex as an ecosystem. Because many environmental standards differ from state to state, industries in lenient states have an economic edge over competitors in tough states???and thus an incentive to resist pollution abatement. If they close polluting plants, moreover, they throw employees out of work, and employment is part of a corporation's social responsibility. Beyond this is the problem of who shall pay for anti-pollution devices. Ultimately the consumer, of course, but how much will he accept...
...surmounting forbidding legal obstacles. Since then, five states have liberalized their punitive 19th century abortion laws. They now permit therapeutic abortions to be performed if the physical or mental health of the mother is in danger or if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest. Four of these five states???Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia and Maryland?also authorize abortion if the child is likely to be born defective, as is commonly the case if the mother has had German measles (rubella) within the first three months of pregnancy. California did not sanction this ground because Governor Ronald Reagan threatened...
...assumption that Wallace will damage Nixon in the South and Humphrey in the North may be at least partly wrong. In Southern and Border states, he does threaten Nixon. A late Wallace surge could give the Alabamian five more states???the Carolinas, Tennessee, Florida and Arkansas ?and swell his electoral vote to 91. Or it could siphon enough votes away from Nixon to enable Humphrey to eke out a few unexpected victories. In the North, Wallace is cutting into the normally Democratic blue-collar wards. But a substantial number of those votes might have gone to Nixon this year...
...indications are that he may use a similar strategy to try to win the general election. This makes sense particularly if one bets that conservative sentiment will run wide and deep between now and Election Day, and by no means only in the South. This formula might lose Northeastern states???but it might also attract significant numbers of disgruntled voters in the North. This plan is reinforced by the echoes of riots past and prospective. A bloody battle was raging in a Negro area just across Biscayne Bay from Convention Hall. Each ghetto upheaval will make things tougher...
...Censure? More serious politically for Republicans than a Bonus declaration is the increasing Legion agitation to censure President Hoover for his treatment of the B. E. F. Such action would prove a distinct liability to him in November. Already eight States???Massa-chusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Illinois, Ohio, Texas and Mary-land?have passed resolutions condemning his use of the Army. When Assistant Secretary of War Davison tried to defend the President's action before the New York convention, he was booed and hissed ?but a censure resolution was beaten...
