...farm-fresh dairy products to the Administration and that both groups have been milking the consumer. Between March and November 1971, Nader says, industry associations have channeled $322,500 into the Republican campaign coffers. The White House has refused comment, since the case is before the courts. But Nixon doubtless wishes Nader would switch from milk to, say, hemlock...
Good Manners. Some of the contributions doubtless come from new, affluent friends who have found Oral Roberts University a source of civic pride and a haven of good academic manners (boys in ties, girls in skirts, no smoking anywhere). But most of the support probably still comes from the millions who read the magazines, follow Roberts on radio or television, and send for free gifts.

The mere suspicion of such future condemnations of our own times should make even...
...Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour (CBS) slipped into the schedule last month and has already staked out a strong position in the ratings competition. Doubtless benefiting from the youthful audience it built up during a trial run last summer, it has attracted a 40% share of the audience for its Monday night time slot, which translates into approximately 30 million viewers. This makes it already one of the dozen top shows on evening television-commercially, at least...
