California and New Jersey high courts rule that fine print exclusions in liability policies are not conspicuous or plain. A New Jersey decision ordered coverage for a teacher’s bodily injury after a fall, overruling the policy’s end-of-document exclusion. The ruling signals tighter protection for policyholders nationwide and pressure on insurers to remove hidden clauses.
A Labor Department study finds that with unemployment under 4 percent, future growth depends on new labor force entrants and skill upgrades. Growth may level off rather than slow, housing recovery helps, and government revenue and tax cuts may be less, while full employment could spread wealth across the economy.
The article notes that De Gaulle and European allies face scrutiny over nervousness about global war as the Soviet Union boosts 1967 defense spending. U S defense of South Vietnam is framed as a key flank of Atlantic security, while UN votes on Korea reveal abstentions that heighten alarm about Southeast Asia. Secretary Rusk urges stronger European aid to deter Communist expansion into Laos Cambodia Thailand and beyond.
Joseph Alsop analyzes Viet Cong strategy amid defectors from Khanh Hoa and Quang Tin, noting provincial battalions broken up to reinforce main forces.

The essay contrasts Hamilton’s belief in an independent judiciary as a barrier to tyranny with Eisenhower’s proposals for term limits and restructured congressional tenure. It notes the evolving reality of lifetime judges and debates whether retirement ages and reconfirmation would refresh the bench. The piece critiques four year House terms and argues many recommendations have merit while praising bold, overdue reform ideas.
HAL BOYLE offers a gallery of pointed lines revealing everyday friction in family work and social life. The quotes show tension in marital roles, workplace dynamics, and community expectations, with blunt humor and wry self awareness in the voice of a columnist.
