...active Republicans see so much good second-and third-level talent that their delight soon dissolves into worry that these able politicians will devour each other or refuse to join such a melee. To add to their misery, the Republicans hear their favorite political scripture about balanced budgets, the Soviet menace and Big Government being preached from Democratic pulpits...

For the second year in a row, 150,000 Americans working abroad face that situation as a result of a 1976 tax code amendment that would sharply increase their taxes. The amendment would add much to the costs of firms doing business abroad and hurt the nation's trade balance by making it harder to sell U.S. goods and services in foreign countries. Businessmen have protested so persuasively that Congress delayed enactment of the amendment for one year and has been dallying over...
