Nixon raises FHA VA mortgage interest ceiling to 7 percent
Washington officials say the Nixon administration boosted the FHA and VA insured loan ceiling from 6.5 percent to 7 percent in a move aimed at expanding mortgage access. The interim emergency action could raise monthly payments on a $20 000 30 year loan by about ten dollars, as banks may begin lending at the higher rate backed by government insurance. Housing secretary George Romney called the step urgent and said the delay would hinder thousands from obtaining homes.

Designer Speaks Out on Fashion as Self Expression
Florence designer Emilio Pucci says 20th century clothing serves as self expression, surpassing art and architecture as a cultural barometer. He notes color, fit, and mobility reflect modern life, with women seeking femininity and practicality as they work outside the home. Pucci argues fashion mirrors the era and that the industry remains a mosaic of small artisan firms, with a surprisingly small number of individuals driving global trends.
