A Friday concert at the National Cathedral drew about 18,000, featuring Bernstein and a mass in war time, contrasting Nixon's Kennedy Center events and the White House petition delivery by the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice.

Plan Aims To Cut Health Costs In Phase 3 Rules
Washington AP The Cost of Living Council plans to unveil within 30 to 60 days a new health costs plan under Phase 3. It will review current price standards for health services and may keep or modify them, with two committees drafting the plan including HEW and Treasury officials. The plan could speed up Medicare and Medicaid efficiency and curb waste while ensuring HEW programs do not spur higher prices. Current standards limit doctor fees to 2.5 percent annually and allow hospitals and providers to raise revenues up to six percent if justified by costs.
