Ullman Predicts Okay of Tax Cuts
AP reports that a tax cuts package would extend 1975 relief into 1976 and beyond with a $12.7 billion continuation. The Ways and Means Committee aims to push the measure through as hearings wrap up and Ford presses for a spending act. The plan would make permanent the 1975 raises in standard deductions and add a 2 percent tax credit on the first 12 000 of annual income for 1976. It also would extend 1975 business cuts through 1986 for the 10 percent investment tax credit and through 1977 for temporary corporate rate adjustments.

Judge orders prompt witness notices in Gardner case
Judge Haruld Vietar ruled that the county attorney must promptly serve notice of all witnesses in the Craig Gardner statutory rape case, rather than wait until four days before trial. He warned the four day rule is a deadline not a tactic, and cited Iowa law requiring a complete witness list and summary prior to trial. Gardner, also known as Craig James, faces trial November 24 for alleged crimes involving a 15 year old.

Three kinds of businessmen in a lecture scene
A quotation contrasts three business types: successful, unsuccessful, and those who lecture others on how the successful group achieved success. The line reflects a cynical view of self-promoting experts, implying hollow or prescriptive teaching without firsthand results.
