...outdone in the war of statistics, the NSC has countered with more of its own. Said one spokesman in rejoinder: "Travel on 31 representative turnpikes during the first five months of this year was down 14% from the first five months of 1973, but fatalities were down 60%." The lowered speed limit seemed a likely explanation. What is more, said the NSC, there were 3.4 deaths per 100 million miles driven for the first six months of 1974, down from an average 4.27 for all of 1973. As for the A.M.A. contention that most crashes occur at speeds under...
...Roosevelt Administration as F.D.R.'s Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, and has since acquired considerable savvy in international investment and foreign aid. Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, an old friend, suggested last week that Rockefeller might take over some of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's heavy travel duties.

The ease with which clerics can travel across national frontiers makes them especially valuable as operatives. They are often motivated by an intellectual commitment to the cause they serve-and sometimes, alas, by the enormous sums of money they can make. Israeli officials, for example, believe that Capucci received more than $10,000 each time he carried messages...

Accompanying the subpoena, which presumably will be served on Nixon at San Clemente this week, was a check for $302 for his travel expenses to and from Washington and a $20 daily witness...
...Turks were kept in their place as second-rate citizens. If a Turkish Cypriot wanted to travel abroad, he had a hard time getting a passport from the Makarios administration, unless he wanted to emigrate to Australia. Then they were delighted to give him a passport and pay for his fare-one way. Turkish Cypriot farmers received less for their produce than Greek Cypriots. There are hundreds of other examples of discrimination. The only solution is to give Turkish Cypriots a fair share of the island. But here in Geneva Mavros and Clerides did not move an inch on this...
