```markdown ``` Pre ... ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` ## By David Bruaten ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Mr Cohen makes a fuss about how much metal is missing from Bullet 300, an academic point at best. The significant observation is that 300 is too imminent to have been the remaining single bullet; even Mr. Cohen is constrained to admit the bulk impact of the official case on this point. This admission, however, is not that type of practice which professors are taught in practice as scholarship, for Mr. Cohen carefully deletes his readings about that 300 is actually required to have done if the government's case is in stand. To begin with, Mr. Cohen is silent about the metal fragments in President Kennedy's neck. This is no wonder, since the autopsy doctors themselves were there, no metal mine next. Mr. Cohen himself, in his New York article, strongly implied that the theory of a fractal but to the root would be bashed if the Nrays themselves revealed any traces of metal there. Experts, who have examined the photos and X-rays, have said that N-ray de reveal metal fragments in the neck. Those fragments have been measured as 4 millimeters in diameter, respectively. It seems that Bullet 300 never presented its ideal base in a hard surface in the neck, and thus, if it left fragments there at all, it had to have found them from its copper jacket. That N-ray jacket is completely intact, no fragments are missing. When Mr. Cohen lides the neck fragments he denies his readers evidence that the single bullet theory he describes cannot be true. This, it can be noted, is the same theory which Mr. Cohen admits is indispensable to the conclusion that there was a single assassin. then, Mr. Cohen makes no refer-ence to the abundant testimony by Campos's doctors that his wrist SUN FLAWS, HIS This was surprised to be the week when men all over the United States began quaking in their hwts, pitting their fingernails and otherwise exhibiting all the symptoms of ma chismo brought to its knees. 1920 This was to be the week when women's liberationists bared their claws and showed the male chauvinist establishment just how reckless they are when they single at The Movement. On Wednesday, according to the scenario fantasized by the National Organization for Women, every true-blue sister in the nation is supposed to down tools in a 24-hour demonstration of the chaos that will result without the feminine touch in our national life.

Lysistrata-style, in the name of inequality (as opposed to the stand and headache). The result, as NOW sees it, will be a total mess, demonstrating the awesome power of the Little Woman. Industry will grind to a halt, government will cease to function, starvation and sloth will overcome the nation's households, and then—the filthy animals—will be given mad by unfulfilled desire. Women, in short, will at last be whether one approves or not of the Harris Square deep shows or of the city's practical erection of sky scrapers outside buildings. The mythical economy man so essential to textile work the city would not ask, presumably, whether a New York default would quickly disrupt the national economy and if so, what practical steps the city might warrant. Instead we have an exercise in spuned meta-photo -- to "haul out" the city or let it ship "down the drain"? # WIN MI.

Fortunately for us all, a couple of funny things happened on the way out of the harem. the spectacle calls to mind the story that Bernard Banuch, asked to name the best look on the stock market, created Charles Mackay's 19th Century Chart. Memoirs of Extraords. The stock market, Mr. Barnich was saving, partakes of "popular delusions and the madness of crowds," and so does the debate over New York And the more oneonders this curious situation, the more one is inclined to view it as a rebuke to the pretensions of scientific economics. The first was a response to NOW's game plan by Ella Grasso of Connecticut, the first woman to be elected governor of a state in her own right Cindy unfazed by NOW's shirt feminist threats, the doughyness not only announced that she herself would be at her desk as usual on Wednesday, but added that she expects women members of her internorial staff will find the NOW boycott "a luxury they can't afford." Not since the Godfather made an offer that couldn't be refused has there been such a thinly veiled hat from someone in authorit Mrs. Grasso's unfeminist reaction triggered a not unexpected adverbial blast from NOW. "Unfortunely this attitude is typical of the lack of understanding of feminism and its objectives," an official NOW statement hissed. Mewi Even more damaging to the job here cause was the result of a similar women's strike that actually took place in Iceland last Friday. The thing that made it so damaging as med the world over will be quick to rite is that the strike was a seesicki one. "Almost 100 per cent effective" crowed one deduced Icelandic liberationist. Consider the results, dutifully chronicled by reporters in Reykjavik. o Telephone service all but shut down for lack of operators. o Newspapers failed to publish because all the Icelandic typesetters are women. - Theaters closed, absent chorus pairs, ingenues and leading ladies. - Schools and day nurseries folded. On the other hand: - Restaurants were able to cater to drastically reduced patronage when - An estimated 25,000 of Iceland's 40,000 women gathered for a rally in Reykjavik's central square. • Two of the parliament's three women members boycotted debates and committee meetings. owners and maitre d's filled in for striking waitresses. • Banks managed to stay open for business. Implicit in the reports from Iceland, albeit not specifically stated, were the following results of the successful strike: - An historic peace settled over at least 25,000 of the male population of Iceland The distinction is interesting. Political economists never bothered to deny or conceal bias; economists many of them — pretend to have none. They suggest that neutral "laws" of the marketplace can be discovered, and that every rational person must then acknowledge their force. This imposture has a long history. Karl Marx, after many years in the British Museum, proclaimed an "iron law of wages" that must inevitably pauperize laborers in a - No jangling telephones disturbed late sleepers window behind a woman who wants to know why her last month's transactions failed to balance.

And, perhaps best of all, every dirty dish, every soiled diaper, every runny nose, every unmade bed was still there when the strike was over. capitalist system. It was a striking law. But reality inconveniently scaffed at it. Then, there was Sly's law, beloved of classical economics, which held that no shortage of purchasing power could occur in an economy left to its own self-correcting devices. The worldwide depressio of the 19ths decisively repealed Mr Say's law. And in 1966 John Maynard Keynes demonstrated in his General Theory of Employment Money and Interest why it had not worked. It was Keynes, incidentally, who said — the words should be read as a kind of cautionary incantation over every assemble of economists — that "practical men, who believe So go, girls, go! Let's make Wednesday a day to remember. Small wonder that ordinary people react with skepticism to the proclaimations of economists and cling to homely analogies. They merely notice that even the most confidently asserted designs and prescriptions of economists bear tell tale marks of human preference - and human fallibility. by these lights, the curious debate over New York City loves some of its strangeness. "Economic" decisions are no more value-free than the everyday choices that most of us make privately about our lives. In that sense the belief that "financial iniquity (is) a thing very like vertuity" has a certain moral valency of
