A column warns taxpayers about the dangers of tax evasion amid rising incomes and a 10 percent surcharge. It cites cases linked to Bobby Baker and Al Capone, explains the difference between avoidance and evasion, and notes stronger IRS audits and penalties for fraudsters.
The text collects lines on turning from wickedness, simplicity of life, and service. Oscar Wilde cites simplicity and humanity, while Matthew 20:26 and Will Rogers emphasize servanthood and humane greatness. Ezekiel 18 27 frames repentance as salvation.
New York Times Service describes shopper archetypes. Quick Tirer delays and fatigued shopping ending with simple gifts. Diamond Jim worries about costs months ahead, fearing expensive presents for his wife.
Russell Baker outlines seven archetypes of husbands failing at holiday giving. Each character faces guilt and panic over Christmas gifts, from overcompensating Waikiki trips to last minute purchases and mismatched presents. The piece satirically lampoons consumer anxieties and marital expectations during the season.
The passage notes that many Christmas customs such as trees, decorations, and Santa figures are recent additions rather than ancient parts of Christendom. It suggests these festive trappings were unknown in Lincoln’s childhood, contrasting modern celebrations with history.
Sydney Harris argues that Christmas only recently adopted the stockings, gifts, and decorations that characterize the modern season. He traces the Christmas tree to 1840s England and Germany, notes Santa Claus and cards’ late emergence, and laments the move from holy reflection to consumer excess and materialism.
A satirical chronicle of a 1970s generational split where Youthland secedes from the Old Country and both sides pursue extremes. The Oldsters push law and order while the Youngsters seek freedom, then reunite on July 4, 1972 in a comic reconciliation.
George Robeson argues that split decisions reflect a living Constitution and offer necessary elbow room for dissent. He cites Miranda and Escobido as 5-4 divisions, notes procedural dissenters, and defends open interpretation as essential to judicial evolution.
The Medical Letter says regular exercise has not proven to lower heart disease incidence or severity by itself. Clinicians support tailored programs combined with smoking cessation, weight control, and cholesterol fat limits, possibly with clofibrate if fats remain high.
