FBI false alarm on Berrigan Bernstein plot to Trumpet antiwar message
Washington reports the FBI warned of a Berrigan Bernstein collaboration to embarrass the Nixon administration with a Latin antiwar mass at the Kennedy Center. Bernstein denied the plot after White House officials sought reassurance. Nixon aides attended rehearsals but the production ultimately drew acclaim. Tax relief plans divide McGovern and Nixon camps. McGovern backs tax credits to shift income to the lower two thirds, proposing a $1000 credit per adult. Nixon seeks tax reforms easing burdens on homeowners and families with private or parochial school costs.
