...hopes of gleaning sulfur from gypsum. And the U.S. Bureau of Mines, Monsanto Co. and others are hard at work to find ways of turning the old fire-and-brimstone villain into a new hero.

...this war of the sexes, Deborah Harford, the mother, is a neurotic daydreamer who cannot yield her son Simon to another woman. A fretful, aging charmer, her hidden impulse is as sin-deep as incest. Using spider-and-fly tactics, Deborah invites Simon to take over the tangled web of his dead father's business and installs Daughter-in-Law Sara as mistress of the Harford mansion.

The acceleration, which should yield $800 million in fiscal 1968, would require corporations to pay estimated taxes on the basis of 80% of their liability rather than on the present 70%. The tax package also provides for excise taxes on new automobiles and telephone services (now 7% and 10%) to continue at least until 1969, instead of being lowered next year as scheduled...
