...Once the actual survey begins, the most controversial census issue is sure to be accuracy, just as it has been since George Washington's day (see box). In 1970, according to postcensus samplings, an estimated 2.5% of the population was missed. While this would be a tolerable margin of error if it affected all segments of the nation equally, the so-called undercount rate for blacks was 7.7%, while for whites it was only...
...Administration's actual position was put repeatedly during congressional testimony by Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who stressed that it would be inappropriate to consider any sort of tax cut until the budget for fiscal 1981 was balanced. Chief Economic Adviser Charles Schultze echoed the point in his own congressional testimony, saying, "Balancing the budget is our first priority and remains our first priority." Carter simply said, "When I am absolutely certain that the 1981 budget will indeed be balanced, I will then, and only then, consider tax reductions...
...losses remain more potential than actual. While costly advertising campaigns have been killed, the purchased TV ad time can still be filled with regular, non-Olympic material. Even manufacturing expenses have not necessarily been totally wasted. R.

...penalty of $30,000 in fines. Ford's losses in civil suits resulting from Pinto accidents already total millions of dollars. Executives feared that a guilty verdict in Winamac could expose the firm to untold millions of dollars in punitive damages-a penalty above and beyond a plaintiffs actual losses-in the nearly 40 Pinto cases still pending. Little wonder, then, that Ford was reportedly willing to budget $1 million for its defense, which was headed by James Neal, 50, the gravel-voiced Tennessean who was chief prosecutor in the Watergate trials...
...alliance conducts full-scale field maneuvers in West Germany, which has the misfortune of being the front line between East and West. No one is hurt in these war games, except by accident, but they are not exactly fun either. Every effort is made to duplicate the real thing: actual forces clash by day and night, and umpires determine who would have killed whom. It is a natural subject for the cinema verite technique of Frederick Wiseman (Canal Zone, Titicut Follies), and the only thing lacking in Manoeuvre is the smell of commingled sweat and exhaust...
