Labor candidate calls for destroying CIA and LEAA in NC race
Marion R. Porter, 26, a former Raleigh nurse and U.S. Labor Party candidate for North Carolina attorney general, told a news conference the cure for crime is to destroy the CIA and the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. She faces Democrat Rufus Edmiston and Republican James H. Carson Jr. in the November election. Meanwhile a bookmaker notes time is money when a horse loses, contrasting with scholars who value cultural insights from a Chinese exhibit coming to the United States in December. Negotiations to bring The Archeological Finds of the People's Republic of China to the National Gallery of Art for six months are close to completion, a State Department source says.
