...elite on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue. But in recent years they have apparently been getting bargains, and illegal ones at that. Law-enforcement officials charged last week that the store has been helping customers evade sales taxes, which are 8.25% in New York City. Store Manager S. Howard Warnock was indicted on 156 counts of falsifying business records, and Assistant Manager Thomas Foster was named in 124 counts. They could face a $5,000 fine and a four-year prison term for each count...

...federal court's finding last week that John Warnock Hinckley Jr. was not gurity by reason of insanity of gunning down the president and three other 16 months ago must kindle the same questions. Imagine what the Soviets must think of us in the wake of the Hinckley acquittal. The same society that unceasingly berates them for external aggression itself refuses to punish a crime-attempted murder of the President-that almost anywhere else would be grounds for invocation of the death penalty...
