Nixon Faces Legal Hurdle Over Lifting Import Surtax
Washington AP reports legal specialists weigh whether the president can remove the 10 percent import surcharge without new Congress action. The temporary levy, used to curb the trade deficit, may affect negotiations on dollar exchange rates and nontariff barriers. If lifting it requires renewing Reciprocal Trade Act provisions, the move could stall talks and provoke political risk.

Powell Shoebox Fortune Haunts Illinois Politics
The investigation into Paul Powell’s $850000 shoebox fortune lingers as three grand juries sort evidence. Indicted are a former Powell partner and two loyalists, while federal and state investigators remain tightlipped about the full source of his $3 million-plus wealth, built during 30 years in the Illinois House and six as secretary of state. Powell, a flamboyant Southern Illinois figure who once challenged Chicago Mayor Daley, died Oct. 10 at 68. A new twist comes with 16 dog-eared boxes found near William Glenn’s home containing uncashed checks dating to 1966, leading to Glenn’s charges of tampering with state records.
