Relief Provisions. Although the Finance Committee measure stops short of the "relief and reform" bill passed by the House last August, it still represents a major step toward equalizing the federal tax burden.

It also approved an increase in the 10% or $1,000 standard deduction now claimed by most taxpayers, lifting it by stages to a new maximum...

All of Chinatown is divided." Divided? "Yes." We walk up the hill toward Grant Avenue. A young Chinese with long hair, George Woo, joins us. The year before, he helped start a radical youth movement called Wah Ching in Chinatown...
Provided that Congress approves and allocates enough money. Nixon's proposals will make some major advances toward what he called "a just marketplace."
