April 11, 1973 - Interview with (first name unknown) Stern about the need for a "no loophole" tax system. This would benefit people who get income from wages and salaries, which is most everyone. Their taxes would be reduced. Right now Congress allows rich to manipulate income in tax system they pay zero tax. Mythology exists about capital gains tax rates.

April 11, 1973 - Speaker says cable industry has claimed the bill is superfluous on one hand, while detrimental to the industry on the other hand. He says cable industry?s purpose is to kill the bill.
April 10, 1973 - Hayakawa says students are serious and studying now, and today?s freshmen aren?t interested in demonstrations as their predecessors were four years ago. He says he took a hard line against violence and disruption on campus, but not campus activism. When asked about jargon used by students he says the widespread use of obscenities is a tactic used by radicals to shock and shut down discussion; it?s anti-intellectual. There?s a poverty of vocabulary of students in the last few years; you can carry on en enormous conversation with a vocabulary of about fifty words. This reduces all experience into one blur.
March 23, 1973 - Sherry Chenoweth talks about a bill that would require octane rating to be disclosed to consumers. This would give consumers information about the minimum quality of gas required by a car, and would be actual factual information rather than meaningless descriptions such as ?regular, premium, super premium? that even the oil companies can?t agree about. She says Chicago is the only city in the nation where stations must post gas octane ratings. The city council there passed the ordinance despite strong opposition from car manufacturers and oil companies claiming this couldn?t be done. She said an FTC study finds average consumer overbuys gas which is too rich for car by $50 a year, which doesn?t do anything to increase car functioning, thus wasting that money. She answered a question about a connection with the rising price of gas saying if we know what we?re buying maybe we can buy lower grade and save money. She said the consumer today really does not know anything about the gasoline he is buying for his automobile.
