...creation of the panel is the latest step in what appears, at least on the surface, to be a stepped-up Government campaign to get to the bottom of the problem of corporate bribery. The Securities and Exchange Commission has urged corporations to disclose questionable payments voluntarily rather than be found out by investigators. More than 50 companies have confessed to such payments so far; another 35 have either come to the SEC for guidance on making disclosures or are the subject of SEC probes...
...transcripts help bring this first step about, by providing unmistakably clear supporting evidence about the undemocratic workings of the present American government (which the Nixon-Johnson foreign policy, as well as Nixon's stepped-up domestic repression, should have made clear long ago), then they really will be important. Even by themselves, they help show the petty baseness of the Nixon administration--the ways it went beyond its predecessors in its closeness to big business and its attacks on opposition. The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that the point of the original Watergate burglary was apparently to make sure Larry...
Though not a formal declaration the move, Lindsay admitted, was "clearly a step toward candidacy." It was also a sign that the mayor has discovered enough backing throughout the country to warrant a stepped-up effort.

One advantage to Aurelio's reassignment is that Lindsay risks little. If response is poor, he can gracefully withdraw, rather than drop out with...
...Viet Nam. Washington had hoped that next month's presidential election in that country would have provided such an avenue. A hard-fought campaign and honest balloting could have signified a long step toward open and competitive democracy, vindicating Nixon's policy of Vietnamization and justifying a stepped-up U.S. withdrawal. But last week President Nguyen Van Thieu killed any lingering hopes for such a success. By ordering opponent Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky's name off the ballot, he turned the election into an all but meaningless referendum on his own performance in office...
...first step in a "heavy" system designed to make American cities safe from Soviet attack, thus opening the way for a U.S. first strike against Russia. The Russians are also distressed by the fact that even as the SALT talks have dragged on, the Pentagon has been pushing for stepped-up development of bigger and better strategic weapons. Meanwhile, the Air Force has deployed its first squadron of 50 Minuteman 3 missiles at Minot Air Force Base, N. Dak., and the Navy has sent on patrol a Poseidon-equipped submarine with 16 MIRV missiles carrying ten to twelve warheads apiece...
