Parrish's viewpoint is that the players always get the worst end of the deal. He points out, for example, that while the per-club income from radio and TV revenue has multiplied by 13 times since 1956, "players' salaries have increased less than 3 times over." Even though Pete Rozelle virtuously forced Joe Namath to give up his Bachelors III nightclub because of alleged patronage by gamblers, Parrish charges the league's very roots were sunk from the start in the subsoil of big-time gambling. The late Tim Mara, longtime owner of the New York...
...depreciation rules announced by Nixon in January, by increasing production as the economy picks up and by not paying previously contracted wage hikes.

Most important, from the Catholic viewpoint, was that the Protestant police auxiliary (the notorious "B Specials") was disbanded; and the regular police force, also strongly Protestant, was stripped of its paramilitary duties...
From President Nixon's viewpoint, the "national emergency" he has declared is crucial to the country's morale and integral to both the resolution of the war and his own chances of reelection. Last week, for example, several votes for the unsuccessful McGovern-Hatfield amendment to set a Dec. 31, 1971 deadline for U.S. withdrawal from Viet Nam came from Senators troubled by the drug problem. Jacob Javits of New York saw drug abuse as "the kind of issue that can change the whole situation," and warned that "the American people could get so fed up that...
