...payments deficits can be curbed by any combination of higher taxes and lower spending that bites deep enough.

His major proposals: 1) a tax, effective May 1, on expenditures by travelers abroad of more than $10 a day, which is scarcely enough to pay for the sauce béarnaise on the tournedos at Maxim's; 2) a 5% tax on ship and air fares to the Eastern Hemisphere; and 3) cuts in the $100 customs...
...have sprung up near occupied towns. At roadblocks around the country, highschool girls in "Long Live Biafra" T-shirts help militiamen check passing cars. Light-Heavyweight Boxing Champion Dick Tiger, an Ibo, has toured the interior villages, advising militia officers on how to whip their inexperienced recruits into fighting trim...
