Israel is Israel and the United States is the United States. They really can't be compared, at all.…Read More It's ridiculous, what they're doing with Homeland Security regarding the Boston Marathon. Ben Franklin had it right when he said "Those who give up liberty for a modicum of security deserve neither."
I also might add that Israel and the United States are two totally different places. Israel has had their security policies in place for a reason (not withstanding their inappropriate and brutal occupation of West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, which they have to end, in order to survive.), plus they're also a much smaller country than the United States. The United States, on the other hand, has never had enemies right smack on its borders, is much, much bigger than Israel, and we're being stupid by putting up security that's totally unnecessary.

@Prometheus & Laurie:
Public urination is not a qualifying offense for determining Sex Offender…Read More classification in the state. A full list of qualifying offenses can be found at: http://www.mass.gov/eopss/crime-prev-personal-sfty/sex-offenders/information-for-sex-offenders.html under the heading "who has to register".
I had a lengthy conversation with a member of the SORB regarding this very issue when the City of Attleboro enacted Child Safety Zone legislation several years ago when I was on the city council.
Public urination is often cited by alarmists who want to keep laws as minimal as possible.
The closest thing that comes to public urination is open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior, and that requires an intent to shock a victim. A person jumping out of a vehicle to urinate on the road side who makes an attempt to block public view of the action is not intending to shock anyone. Also, to qualify as a sex offender classification offense, O/G lewdness require two separate convictions.
The number of appeals and services available to sex offenders to appeal their classification at the cost to law abiding taxpayers is astonishing.

Howard Stern wants Rosie O'Donnell to join 'America's Got Talent'
Howard Stern is returning to "America's Got Talent" next season, and the star is pushing for Nyack resident Rosie O'Donnell to join him on the judges' panel.
When Stern, who began his radio career in Briarcliff Manor, welcomed fellow "America's Got Talent" judge Howie Mandel to his radio show on Dec. 10, the shock jock asked Mandel what he'd think if O'Donnell replaced Sharon Osbourne, who announced this year she would not to return as an "AGT" judge.
"What about Rosie O'Donnell?" Stern asked Mandel. "I've recommended her."
"Really?" Mandel replied.
"And everyone looks at me like I'm crazy," Stern continued. "Why is that? I think she's terrific. And women like her."
That's not the only unsettled aspect of the "AGT" judges' panel heading into the next season, which will air in 2013. Although auditions for season eight are taking place across the country, Mandel hasn't yet signed. And both Stern and Mandel publicly wondered if the panel would expand to four judges; Stern said he disliked that concept, adding he had a tough enough time getting in his thoughts with a panel of three.
On Monday, The Huffington Post reported that Stern was lobbying for O'Donnell to get the judging gig. While the report was made based on an unidentified source, the site did reach out to O'Donnell for her thoughts, and she said "if offered the position she would definitely consider it."
O'Donnell's last full-time television gig was "The Rosie Show" on the OWN network, which was canceled in March due to poor ratings. While the comedian has served as a talk show host and as a panelist on "The View," she has not yet made the move to reality television.
What do you think? Do you think O'Donnell would make a good "AGT" judge? Do you think she and Stern would have good chemistry? Let us know in the comments!

The club members of Earth Grooves, our newly formed environmental club, put together our very first compost bin on Tuesday 1 September 2009.
Environmentally conscious SAI-oneers from Classes IV to XI had researched the best materials required for creating organic compost and instructed the school kitchen staff accordingly. By the end of the day our first 'instalment' of veg peels was ready and the compost bin was 'inaugurated' by Club President Pooja Biswal of Class XI and Club Secretary, Simple Mohanty, Class VIII.
The kitchen garden project developed by Class I SAI-oneers was to promote the benefits of recycling and reducing waste. We believe that composting at school is a fun way to learn about nature while also reducing the amount of organic waste that the school sends to landfill.
An added bonus is that students can actually get to see the end result of their efforts – their finished compost being used to beautify their school's grounds.
SAI International school believes in making learning natural and effective by initiating the young learners with a wide array of experiences that arouses their appetite for knowing and understanding the wide world. Edu-cursions, in other words excursions for the purpose of education, are a vital aspect of the curriculum at SAI. Be it a trip to the railway station, or a visit to the museum, our students get the opportunity to be more aware and improve the quality of their acquired knowledge. It is the first hand experience that transforms our lives from the mundane to the extraordinary .
Among all the activities of our school, a major effort ,was subjected towards enhancing the acquisition of knowledge. The trip to the fabulous country of United Arab Emirates ,in the Autumn Break taken by 29 students from class VII to class XI in23rd of September2009 , accompanied by our chairman Mr. B.K. Sahoo, trustee Mrs. Shilpi Sahoo, the vice-principal Mr. Nilkantha Panigrahi and Mrs. Panigrahi, to the majestic cities of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah was a step in this direction. The benefits reaped by our students from this trip are worth treasuring, for a lifetime. Most evidently the students experienced a part of the vast cultural panorama of life amidst the vast diversity of the globe.. They witnessed some true architectural delights during the tour which vindicated the peaks of true human achievement.
Be it through video-conferencing or communicating directly with students from across the world (we have links with 40 schools across the globe), we strive to make our students truly international in their perception, vision and action. This trip may be regarded as the execution of this intention. There are various international study exchange programmes in the pipeline in the immediate future. Our efforts will forever be complete and continuous in this direction.

Former KMOD morning radio host and phone prankster Brent Douglas joined the Good Morning Oklahoma team Thursday morning.
You've got another chance to see him live Friday morning between 6:00 and 7:00am as well.
Douglas, aka Roy D. Mercer, stopped by Thursday some interviews and to get us caught up on what's been happening since he left the air last year.
He worked with Phil Stone for 27 years on the KMOD "Morning Zoo" drive-time program. The pair left the airwaves in October.
Douglas shed some light on how and why KMOD parted ways with the team in an interview with Good Morning Oklahoma's Laura Moss.
Watch the interview - Click Here
He reflected on some of the best times with Phil Stone, who passed away suddenly in November of last year.
But, in true prankster fashion, Douglas ended the interview with a smash.
He rolled backwards, toppled off the news desk and crashed to the floor with a groan. He was OK, but admitted afterwards that the distance to the ground was a lot further than it looked.
Douglas survived day one on GMO. Will he make it on day two? Find out Friday between 6:00 and 7:00am on Tulsa's Channel 8.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

After a 4-0 week, the Ole Miss baseball team (6-1 overall) is on the move. In Baseball America's rankings, the Rebels jumped up to No. 21 from No. 24.
The Week That Was:
Looking back at the week that was, there's a few interesting stats that stand out — but keep in mind, Ole Miss played Oakland and Arkansas State.
- The Ole Miss outfield appears to be pretty slick at the plate. Freshman LF Tanner Mathis batted a team-best .500 (4-for-8), with junior RF Matt Smith (.462, 6-for-13) and junior CF Tim Ferguson (.429, 6-for-14) close behind him.
- Senior IF Zach Miller had a team-high nine RBIs, although he hit .250 (3-for-12).
- OF Cliff Vaughn is hitting 1.000 on the year, after hitting a single against Oakland in mop-up duty.
- Senior SS Kevin Mort and junior C Miles Hamblin are off to tough starts, hitting .077 (1-for-13) and .000 (0-for-10) on the week. Mort's some-what saving grace is that he only Kd once, where Hamblin had five strikeouts with zero walks.
- The team was 5-for-6 on stolen base attempts (Ferguson had four, Smith had one, and Alex Yarbrough was caught stealing).

Bayesian forecasting with highly correlated predictors
This paper considers Bayesian variable selection in regressions with a large number of possibly highly correlated macroeconomic predictors. I show that acknowledging the correlation structure in the predictors can improve forecasts over existing popular Bayesian variable selection algorithms.Download Info

Real Salt Lake, meanwhile, suffered their first loss of the new campaign and have yet to win a match at RFK in eight tries.
"Another typical road fight," said head coach Jason Kreis. "Very unlucky on the goal situation, because it was literally inches [from being offside]. I mean, that player is on, a step ahead them. By a few inches or a few feet more out of the goal, then it would have been a clear offside. And then I was really, really pleased by our response."
Pajoy scored eight goals last season (three with United, five with Philadelphia) before opening his 2013 account with a diving header.
The goal developed when United's Chris Pontius sent a corner kick into the box that midfielder John Thorrington settled just outside the area. With space and time, Thorrington sent a cheeky chip on goal that forced RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando to make a leaping, sprawling stop.
The rebound bounced right to Pajoy, who headed it into the open net.
"It's always tough to take a loss, but actually not too mad," said Rimando. "I thought the performance from the guys was great. Our response from when they scored the goal was great. [We were] unlucky on the goal – barely kept them onside. We had some opportunities, but again, when you go on the road to a good team, you're not always going to get the results you want."
United (1-1-0, 3 points), playing without their captain Dwayne De Rosario while serving the second of his two-game suspension, lacked creativity on offense but continued to play strong defense at home.
RSL (1-1-0, 3 points) looked very little like the team that shutout San Jose last weekend as their chances on the attack were sparse. Salt Lake generated two shots on target and won four corners.
Shortly after Pajoy's goal, RSL defender Abdoulie Mansally appeared to head butt United's Perry Kitchen in the chest after some pushing and shoving. Mansally was shown a yellow card by referee Sorin Stoica following the incident.
In the 73rd minute, United goalkeeper Bill Hamid made a tough stop against RSL midfielder Khari Stevenson that was arguably Salt Lake's best scoring chance of the evening. Salt Lake won consecutive corners with roughly 15 minutes remaining, but failed to convert on both opportunities.
In the 83rd minute, MLS veteran Carlos Ruiz entered for Pajoy and received a positive ovation from the 17,072 fans in attendance and nearly had a stoppage goal, but Rimando made a fantastic point-blank stop.
The first half was disjointed, to say the least, as both teams failed to do much of anything for the opening 20 minutes and Pontius and Luis Gil notched the only shots on goal for their respective clubs in the opening 45.
RSL will play its home opener next Saturday against Colorado in a game that can be seen on ABC 4 beginning at 4:00 p.m.
:"We're excited, of course," said Kyle Beckerman. "We get to open our stadium. I think our fans are really looking forward to playing a game in the stadium against our rivals. It's always a big one."

In the spirit of releasing all the games I made a couple years ago, here's this fuckin silly thing I made when Tony Hawk RIDE came out. I was in some conversation where I said "You might as well make a Tony Hawk game where you just dont land and you just keep getting combos" then I laughed at the idea of that actually coming out
I guess it's not as relevant any more, but I still thought this was fuckin funny as hell IN MY OPION! I tried to pretty much sum up everything I remember about Tony Hawk into like 20 seconds
Rated 5 / 5 stars November 22, 2012

Long Island Memories
Editorial District 22 pupils were still walking to school on Thursday morning despite rumors that the bus strike was nearing an end. Last Friday, drivers of the Long Island Bus Company decided by vote to have Local # 1 represent them as a bargaining agent. On Saturday, salary negotiations began in earnest. The drivers, who were getting$ 96.50 were asking $ 112.50 a week. The bus company's offer was a 35£ an hour increase with an additional 5£ an hour in September 1968 and another 5£ in September 1969. On the surface this would have brought both parties to a near- agreement point. Management however, we learned, was negotiating to reduce the 45 hour week to 40 hours. This caused the present stalemate. A group called DEBT is circulating mimeographed literature throughout School District 22. Many questions are posed and many conclusions are drawn. One gets the impression that everything is wrong within the district. The February 10 referendum is blasted. The Superintendent is hit. So is the architect and everyone else, including the Commissioner of Education. Then more questions are posed and innu-endos left hanging. Example: ' Can the School Board give the people an ironclad guarantee that if we approve the extra $ 988,000 and expand the High School, the children of District 22 will be the beneficiaries and will not be transferred to other districts like Wyandanch*. We suggest that residents, and DEBT members attend an informational meeting on Monday, February 5 at 8: 30 p. m. at Weldon E. Howitt Junior High School. Our guess is that the DEBT literature will die of natural causes. Registration for the February 10 vote is being held Saturday from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. at Weldon E. Howitt Junior High School. Those registered should have been notified by mail. February has been designated by Governor Rockefeller as " American History Month" in New York State in a proclamation lauding the annual national history- essay contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. " It is of the greatest importance that our future citizens, whose leadership role will decide our Nation's course, should be familiar with all the great events, the great statesmen, the national heroes who have made the United States of America what it is today." " No country has a more inspiring history than our own. It is appreciated and studied by students of other countries all over the world," the Governor said. College News Daniel Kahn, 11 Birch Circle, Farmingdale, and Donald Gregory, 61 Ejutehorn Street, Bethpage are actively engaged in furthering the interest of die evening student at Hostra University. Kahn, who expects to receive his degree in electronic engineering in 1973, is presently a design technician for Sanders Associates. Majoring in personnel management, Gregory is President of the Society for Advancement of Management at Hofstra. The newly formed Evening Student Organization was developed to " serve as the repository of Evening Student opinion and to act as an agency for bringing relevant suggestions to the attention of the University administration," according to the organization's constitution. < 3farmui0fmle © Iismu' T Published every Thursday by THE OBSERVER, INC.

Capitol Report By RepJomes Grover President Johnson, if his State of the Union Message is to be taken at face value, has so insulated himself from the public mood and from the signals coming from Capitol Hill, that he no longer understands the true state of the union. In spite of the year- long Battle of the Bulging Budget which took place in 1967, the President still felt constrained to warn Congress that he will be offering an increased spending program and that he still wants a tax increase. Many analysts regard the State of the Union Message as a political document. And the tipoff on the President's problems is that Democrats as well as Republicans were unenthusiastic about many of his proposals. Once again, the P r e s i d e n t was prom is ing us an unbalanced budget. If we gave him a tax increase, then the budget would be unbalanced by $ 8- billion, instead of $ 20- billion, he said. And all that he asks is that we increase the income tax so as to take another penny from every dollar. This, of couse, is in addition to all the federal excise taxes, the present federal income tax, state income taxes, s a l e s t a x e s , properly taxes, special district taxes, etc. The President bowed, in his message, to various segments of the population. He promised this year to pay renewed attention to the eradication of crime. That's a move that comes better late than never, from a man whose appointees to the Supreme Court have participated in decisions which handcuffed law enforcement agencies, whose attorney generals urged civil disobedience and whose Vice President was one of the darlings of campus protestors. Among other things, the President promised new programs to attack poverty, to provide better housing, to rebuild cities, to improve education and to provide health services. Many sociologists are already of the view that much of the unrest in campus and in the ghettos is due to the unfulfilled promises of immediate accomplishment and for the righting of social wrongs by the Great Society. What this Congress would have preferred is a realistic message which set attainable goals within the financial reach of the taxpayer. T h i s was not such a message. Gardening On The Island By The Long Island Nurserymen's Association The first springlike day in February is likely to stir die gardener's blood and produce a strong urge to snatch up the pruning tools and hack away. This is a noble purpose and die time is right — but only for some shrubs and trees. Pruning does a number of beneficial jobs: It can promote more vigorous growth, more prolific flowering and fruiting, and healthier branches in an old plant. It can also shape shrubs more attractively, and keep them from killing themselves off widi too many shaggy twigs that take food from more sturdy branches. And pruning is essential for removal of diseased portions of a plant, so that the disease cannot spread. In general, dormancy is the preferred condition for pruning diose shrubs and trees that will benefit by reshaping and thinning. But many familiar shrubs popular on the Island are valued for their early spring blooms, which will be sacrificed if diey are pruned at this time of year. Included inthis- groupareforsythia, lilac, and Japanese flowering quince. Pruning on these shrubs, which will bloom this spring on last year's new growth, should be withheld until die flowers have faded. Waiting until this later time has the added advantage of guiding you in knowing what to remove, because you can readily see the faded blooms. Nevertheless, if these early-blooming shrubs are reaching a-cross your driveway or paths, all is not lost if you cut them back to relieve the traffic situation. The branches you remove now can be forced into bloom indoors merely by putting them into a container of water. In pruning, the safest general rule is " if in doubt, don't do it." When you are certain of the growth habits of your plant materials, and know that they need pruning before spring, get out your tools and get to work. When you are not certain, ask your local nurseryman or garden- center man for his expert advice. Once you have chosen your subjects for pie- spring pruning and have determined how far back to cut which branches, you must choose your weapons. If you are the owner of a good set of tools, you have undoubtedly taken care to keep them in good condition. So you will want to use the correct tool for each job, in order not to ruin it. For soft green wood up to an inch in diameter, choose a hand pruner for cutting easily reached Farmingdale OBSERVER branches, and long- handled lopping shears for those diat are more inaccessible. Hedge shears should be used only for hedges. And if you have had some practice with a pole pruner, you will find it useful for high branches tJiat would otherwise be out of reach entirely when you stand on the ground. The pole pruner, however, is not recommended for the inexperienced, nor is the pole saw. A good book on pruning is an asset if you know what varieties of shrubs and trees are flourishing on your property. And if you don't know what they are, now is a good time to ask your nurseryman to identify them for you. Not only for pruning times and practices but for general maintenance and fertilizing, proper plant identification takes the guesswork out of gardening. Among the popular Long Island plants diat need to be pruned before growth starts in the spring are yew, arborvitae, and established rose bushes. According to the type of rose, the bush should be pruned lightly, moderately, or dratically. Drastic pruning is cutting back almost to the ground, and light pruning is cutting out only dead wood and weak, straggly growth. Climbing roses of all types need to have their twiggy growth removed completely, and the r e maining strong canes cut back to half of their length. Shrub roses need to be shaped for symmetry, removing broken branches and any that contribute nothing to the shape of the bush; and last year's shoots should be cut back to half their length. Exceptions to these generalities are the climbing Hybrid Tea roses, which need a minimum of pruning — just e-nough to remove dead wood and weak twigs; dwarf Polyandiaand Floribunda roses, which also need little pruning but occasionally have very low- growing weak twigs that should be removed entirely; and Ramblers, which should be pruned just after their flowers have faded. As distinguished from " climbers", Ramblers bear small flowers in large clusters, and have numerous strong shoots growing from die base of the bush. Done at the proper time, pi lining is essential to sturdy, attractive plants. Improperly timed pruning can kill die plants entirely. So if you are uncertain about which of your plants should be pruned now before they begin new growth, ask your local member of the Long Island Nurserymen's Association. Thursday, February I, 1968

Solving Your Design Dilemmas
Oprah.com | July 13, 2007
What does Nate love even more than decorating? Helping
create the perfect space! He's taking your calls and showing you how to decorate a round room, add color to your walls and find creative alternatives to TV stands.
"I recently purchased a new home with a circular foyer. How do I go about decorating a round room?"
Nate suggests placing a round table in the center of the room. Arrange beautiful books on the table with the bindings facing out—kind of like the slices of a pizza, he says. Next, add a centerpiece, such as a vase full of flowers or a sculpture. To add interest, Nate says to add a pair of rectangular benches tucked under the table or place one under the table and angle another bench to one of the curved walls. For the walls, Nate recommends grouping an odd number of items vertically that lay almost flat against the wall's surface.
"I'm a college student on a budget and renting my first apartment. How can I add color to the walls without painting them?"
Nate suggests creating a colorful collage using images from old books, personal photographs…anything that has a special meaning for you. Follow a grid pattern when affixing the images to the wall for a clean look, he says.
"I need a functional way to display my flat screen TV, but I am not a fan of TV stands. Can you suggest a stylish alternative?"
If hanging your flat screen isn't an option, Nate suggests placing your TV in a chic cabinet after removing any unnecessary shelves. Arrange more eye-catching objects on top of the cabinet so they become the focal point when the cabinet doors are closed and the TV is not in use. "Take the focus off of the TV and have the story be [about] what's on top," Nate says.

FICP VP of membership discusses the value of membership.
Q: What has membership in FICP meant to you and to your career?
A: I became aware of FICP (then ICPA) in the early 1990s. I was working for an insurance company, Western National Life Insurance, which spun off from Conseco. At the time, I was focused on building a business case for internal meeting planning versus outsourcing, and I was also managing regulatory and tax requirements for meetings; I was interested in sharing best practices. I became a member in 1994 and attended my first annual conference. At that meeting I felt so at home and welcomed immediately.
What motivated you to accept the FICP board position?
I served on the Groups & Meetings Committee of the National Business Travel Association for two years. I received invaluable educational and career opportunities because of my involvement. When my term was up, I decided to get more actively involved with FICP and help to bring FICP's voice to NBTA and Meeting Professionals International.
When I was approached about an FICP board seat I was extremely honored. This is the same group of people whom I admired so much in the early 1990s, and who had provided me with such great input to help me advance my career. However, when I received the initial call from the board in August 2008, little did I know that my employer at the time would have such a major impact on our industry in October. You could have knocked me over with a feather when the formal offer for the board seat came in November. The timing was perfect. Unfortunately the economic timing was not so perfect.
But as to what motivated me to join the FICP board: to give back and to share my experience and support. I had managed meetings for a subsidiary of a large organization for many years when I was asked to implement an SMMP. Throughout the process I was exposed to many learning opportunities and grew professionally. Now I hope to give some of my experience back.
As vice president, membership, how will you focus on recruiting new members and retaining existing members?
During my first board meeting, in December 2008, one of the main agenda items that my predecessor, Dan Young, presented to the board was to allow continued association membership for planners who lose their positions due to the current economy. The board supported this change and we now have members benefiting from this updated policy.
We want to leverage our relationships with NBTA, MPI, and LIMRA to provide resources to meeting planners in the insurance and financial sector who are not aware of our association. We will be reaching out to planners to introduce them to the type of support FICP can bring to them and their companies.
Our planner recruitment contest, sponsored by Associated Luxury Hotels, ends August 31. The planner member who recruits the most new members will receive a three-night stay at The Grand Del Mar in San Diego, plus two round-trip American Airlines tickets donated by FICP. The hospitality partner who recruits the most new members gets complimentary registration for the 2009 Annual Conference in Toronto. Find all the contest details at www.ficpnet.com.
Can you share any membership initiatives that are in the works?
We are researching a new executive membership category. This would allow senior management from member companies access to member benefits and allow FICP to show them the value we bring to their planners and their organizations while gaining their perspectives on the industry.
On the communications front, my colleague Jan Hennessey has done a fabulous job of updating the FICP Web site to allow for better communication and feedback.
The 2009 FICP Annual Conference, to be held November 15-18 in Toronto, is designed to make an immediate impact on your business and provide attendees with the tools, contacts, and education to thrive in today's environment. The theme of the conference is "Northern Exposure…Unlimited Opportunities," and the agenda is packed with top-notch educational and networking offerings.
Participants can select from more than 35 breakout sessions geared toward financial services and insurance industry professionals. Educational content will focus on doing business in the face of increased regulatory (FINRA) scrutiny, sharing valuable cost-saving tips, and understanding strategic meetings management (SMMP) best practices. The robust sessions are complemented by dynamic keynote presenters, including international mountaineer/adventurer Jamie Clarke; Institute for Health and Human Potential co-founder Dr. J.P. Pawliw-Fry; and Geoffrey Colvin, Fortune magazine's senior editor-at-large, who will lead an economy-focused panel discussion.
The three-day conference format is packed with myriad occasions for attendees to expand their peer networks. In addition to the ad-hoc idea exchange, Marketplace, and networking events, FICP is introducing The Meeting Place Café, a dedicated space for both planners and hospitality partners to engage in strategic sourcing conversations and discuss new business opportunities.
Toronto, the insurance and financial capital of Canada, and the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel serve as the ideal setting for this year's event. The city's vibrant cosmopolitan scene will be showcased throughout the week, and there will be opportunities to explore the city post-conference through optional educational activities and site inspections.
Conference registration is $399 for FICP planner members and $499 for nonmember planners. Hospitality partners are invited through sponsorship and recruitment eligibility. New this year: A one-day pass will be available for Monday's state-of-the-industry sessions and roundtables, ideal for local professionals and those unable to attend the full conference.
Last year's conference was a sellout, so don't delay in securing a spot at this year's event. Visit www.ficpnet.com for online registration and event information.
Kelli Livers, cmp is director, travel and administrative services, for Forethought Financial Group. She joined the company in January 2009 after 15 years with AIG, based in Houston. At Forethought, Livers is responsible for all meetings, events, and corporate travel. She also is in the process of opening the company's new office in Houston and will manage that office. Late last year, she was named FICP's vice president, membership.

I.F. Stone Reports: Behind the ITT Scandal
Bribery comes naturally to conglomerates. These giant holding companies, like ITT, sprawling all over the business map, expand by one form of bribery or another, some more or less legitimate, some just plain garden-variety odoriferous. In the former category was the half-billion-dollar premium
When ITT made its "noble commitment" (in the language of the famous memo written by its Washington lobbyist, Mrs. Dita Beard) to guarantee up to $400,000 to bring the 1972 Republican Convention to San Diego, it may not have been strictly a bribe. But it was certainly another "conflict of interest," especially since it was soon followed by a Justice Department decision to drop its antitrust suit challenging the acquisition of Hartford and to file a consent decree instead, allowing ITT to keep the prize it wanted. Conglomerate operations dull the feeling for such niceties.
Writing midway in the Senate Judiciary Committee investigation of the ITT affair and the Kleindienst nomination, I would like to touch on some of the broader economic and social issues. The first is the menace to free government by holding companies grown so gigantic that they become private empires, financing the election campaigns of both major parties and in a position to treat public officials as errand boys. When the Judiciary Committee hearings were reopened at Richard Kleindienst's request after Jack Anderson's revelations, the Attorney General designate, in his opening statement, was quick to emphasize ITT's bipartisanship. Of Felix Rohatyn's private meeting with him as emissary for ITT and Lazard Freres, Mr. Kleindienst said archly:
He also, I think, by way of introduction, stated that he had no political credentials by which to introduce himself to me—that as a matter of fact he was an economic adviser to Senator Muskie in his national committee, and was on his finance committee.
Felix Rohatyn could strengthen his bipartisan credentials if he should volunteer the information, not yet elicited by the Judiciary Committee as this is being written, that ITT used its hotel subsidiary, Sheraton; to butter up the Democrats at the state capital in Hartford just as it used Sheraton to butter up the Republicans in San Diego. There were two hurdles to the acquisition of the Hartford Fire Insurance Company. One was to win or settle out of court the federal antitrust suit. The other was to get the Connecticut Insurance …
