Nixon questions Times over Washington crime description
President Nixon criticized the New York Times for saying Washington, D C, is a city of fear and crime while acknowledging the paper quoted him as describing the capital as often hostile and frightening during the campaign. The story notes the Times quoted Nixon’s remarks and contrasts it with his defense during a news conference. The report also cites a side note about the pronghorn envelope, noting it can reach speeds of 35 mph and 56 mph.

Eight Tax Proposals To Raise State Revenue In Pa
Governor Shafer pushes multiple income tax ideas to fund a 25 percent boost in next fiscal year spending. He singles out a 3 percent tax on total income after $1,200 exemptions as most progressive, noting it could be paired with a 1 percent sales tax cut to meet budget needs. He cites a chart showing costs for a four person family at various income levels and argues the plan aligns with constitutional allowance for a progressive tax. Shafer compares other options including flat 2 percent and 1.5 percent income taxes with different sales-tax impacts. He defends the program, saying state taxes per family of four are lower than neighboring states except West Virginia.
