...legislation. He has a pervasive influence on Government spending as well, since he can insist on budget adjustments as the price of any new tax measure. For eleven years that chairman has been Arkansas' Wilbur Daigh Mills, now 59. His economic sophistication and political acumen have made his word law with his committee members and the whole House. President Nixon has called for re-examination of all U.S. tax policy, and Mills will be the congressional arbiter of any changes. Mills, who rarely gives on-the-record interviews, agreed to sit down for an examination of his current views...
Berman, who is a New Yorker and a Jew, spoke with compassion of the woes of the Palestinian Arabs (he pronounced the word "Ay-rab" and referred to Sirhan as "Saran"). He dramatically underlined the word "intoxicated" (". . . while in a disturbed mental state, intoxicated and confused . . ."), an indication that the defense intends to bolster the contention that Sirhan was "out of contact with reality."

According to the relativity equations, that "tachyon" (a name that Feinberg coined from the Greek word for "swift") should have other strange characteristics. Unlike familiar particles, which gam mass and energy as they accelerate toward the speed of light, Femberg's particle would lose mass and energy as it accelerated beyond the light barrier. At infinite speeds, it would theoretically have no mass or energy at all. Like a plane going faster than the speed of sound, a tachyon with an electrical charge would generate a "light boom" as it traveled faster than 186,000 m.p.s. The boom would...
...weapon or other acts that might bring trouble. The Vera Institute of Justice, a nonprofit research group seeking to modernize legal procedures, started a trend away from money bail in Manhattan, is now offering job training and counseling to some of those who are released on their own word...
