Among ruling Communist parties, the reformist showcase is the Yugoslavia of Josip Broz Tito, Communism's first heretic. There is far more freedom of expression and action in Yugoslavia than in any other country of Eastern Europe. Newsstands and bookshops offer Yugoslavs easy access to Western publications without fear of reprisals. There is, of course, censorship; certain books, like Milovan Djilas' works, are not available, and the press is controlled. Yugoslavs, if they can afford it, can travel abroad freely, in the East or West. Conversely, Westerners, whether tourists, businessmen or journalists, gain ready admission to Yugoslavia. By scrapping Communism...
...that is no concern of ours. There are many Arab millionaires made rich by oil, or by representing Western companies. It is not right that they should be rich while we are both poor and homeless. They are indirectly the agents of the U.S., which aids Israel. I know blowing up the tap-line hurts Saudi Arabia. But, Saudi Arabia is a reactionary regime, and it sells its oil to those who support Israel. It is too bad for Saudi Arabia that she may suffer. Our main aim remains American interests...
...gimmick, that symbolized the orchestra's intention to become regional rather than a municipal enterprise. As a result, it could now zero in on large, untapped financial sources in Saint Paul and other Minnesota communities. Under Polish Conductor Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, who had been programming an imaginative spectrum of Western music, the orchestra began presenting school concerts all over the state, lowering student-ticket prices at Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis to $1.

...Starting with a $2,000 investment in ten Coke machines in 1949, Ellman built up a thriving vending-machine and cafeteria business that he sold for $50,000 in 1958. He then sank the proceeds into a modest Man hattan steak house. He redecorated it in dude-ranch western, renamed it the Cattleman, promoted it fiercely with various gimmicks, including free stage coach rides for the kiddies. The weekly gross quintupled, from $12,000 to $60,000, within a year and a half...
...decent housing continues to outstrip construction, "No Vacancy" is becoming the ubiquitous sign of the times. Last year, U.S. builders put up just under eight houses and apartments for every 1,000 people, which was half of 1950's record pace. The U.S., once preeminent, now lags behind Western Europe, Japan and Russia in housing output on a per capita basis. This week the Nixon Administration will announce formation of the National Corporation for Housing Partnerships, a Comsat-style combination of Government and private industry. The corporation expects that its activities will add at least 10,000 new houses...
