...most of it up by advancing the due dates for corporate and personal income taxes and by dipping into oil-royalty reserves. That would still leave him short next year, so he has proposed putting income tax collection on a withholding basis-another sleight-of-hand procedure that would yield a one-time windfall in shifting to pay-as-you-go. Part of Brown's budget planning is based on the doubly doubtful proposition that Kennedy's tax program will pass and that it will result in revenue-producing business expansion in California...
Except for a handful of growers who were wiped out when the frost killed off millions of young trees, the citrus industry still has a ripe future-and will probably continue to expand. Citrus trees begin to yield profitably after five years and bear fruit almost indefinitely, though taxmen write them off in 40 years. The hazards, beyond an occasional frost or round of tree diseases, are small. And the profit, with any kind of effort, is a juicy...
...songs, called "catches," depend for their spice on stout voices singing the lyrics alternately. As the lyrics interweave, words overlap and innocent verses yield bright fruit: a catch that begins "He tickled her fancy and told her his tale" is sure to come out "And he fancy-tickled her tail." Jonathan Swift was an eager catch lyricist, but the biggest tease of all was Henry Purcell, the saintly master of the High Church hymn. After hours, Purcell forsook cantatas in favor of catches and "hockets"-a trick of song in which a voice may boldly interject one word...

A two-man peace mission composed of Jacques Houard, Belgium's consul general in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia, and André Van Roey, director of Katanga's National Bank, followed him there. For 36 desperate hours, the two urged him to yield rather than carry out his threat to blow up the huge dams and copper and cobalt mines operated by the giant Union Minière company in Kolwezi. Finally, convinced that he had no alternative, Tshombe gave...
Only some $5 billion of this tax loss would be offset by the rest of the package. Various closing of tax loopholes and corrections of inequities, which Kennedy did not spell out, would recover $3.5 billion. A shift in the timing of corporate tax payments would yield another $1.5 billion-at least in bookkeeping terms...
