Unfortunately, budget trimming by OMB seems small when weighed against the remorseless growth of federal expenditures that are mandated by law. Such "entitlement programs" as Social Security. Medicare and federal pensions account for nearly two-thirds of the budget, and in HEW they claim 89c of every dollar. Social Security alone costs $104 billion. Unless the growth of benefits is slowed, the whole Social Security system?as well as the budget?will be in deep trouble. Says Alice Rivlin, director of the Congressional Budget Office: "If you're really concerned about the growth in Government, then you have...

Their book went on sale the same day as Bantam...
...During eight stormy months in the post in 1975-76, he bruised so many feelings that a scandalized delegate said his colleagues were in "positive dread of his manners, his language and his abuse." The delegates will not be any happier with the ex-ambassador's account of his U.N. days. His scathing description of the organization: "Envision the British Home Office of 1900 enlarged five hundredfold, teeming with the incompetent appointees of decadent peers and corrupt borough councillors, infiltrated and near to immobilized by agents of the Black Hand, Sinn Fein and the Rosicrucians (some falsely representing themselves...
