CORNERBACKS. James Hunter, Grambling, 6 ft. 3 in., 194 lbs.; and Mike Haynes, Arizona State, 6 ft. 3 in., 195 lbs. With the speed of summer lightning, Hunter is the dream cornerback. A favorite tactic is to zip up to the line and stun runners trying to sweep around the end. When he intercepts a pass, Hunter takes off like a running back. Haynes is another return threat who led the country in interceptions (eleven) when he was a junior. The scouts say that Pat Thomas, Texas A. & M., 5 ft. 10 in., 180 lbs., is also a cornerback...
...Internal Revenue Service calls in a taxpayer for an audit. The best tactic is to fight truculently on every point, right? No, wrong. The taxpayer who turns a smiling face to his IRS questioner and takes a docile line will probably come out with more money in his pocket, according to a report prepared for the Administrative Conference of the U.S., an organization of federal officials and private citizens with a special interest in law and government.

This seems to be a delay tactic; Kissinger probably wants to wait until after the shift of power. And sizing up the nature of this shift seems to have been the reason for Ford's visit to Madrid, where he reportedly spent more time with Prince Juan Carlos than with El Caudillo...
...AMREP unload the real estate? A key tactic was to get crowds of potential buyers together for free drinks and dinner at hotel ballrooms and restaurants. There, a smooth-talking speaker would mount the podium to describe various Rio Rancho plots. As he spoke, salesmen at the tables would jump up, shouting "Hold!" as if they had just sold the lot he was talking about. Their enthusiasm would be contagious, and since the land contracts were right there on the tables, guests would impulsively sign on the dotted line. In so doing, they committed themselves to purchases ranging from...
