...alarmist about the nation's economy--at least not during Republican administrations. At first, Mr. Ford even refused to acknowledge that the U.S. was in a recession. When he became president, however, he was forced to think about the matter a little more carefully, and he grudgingly came to admit the existence of economic difficulties. President Ford then proposed a tax increase as our panacea, but when that proved unpopular he decided to look for another scheme. Now Mr. Ford has pulled together a new package, in what The New York Times calls "a 179 degree turn in economic policy...

...guidelines candidly admit that Jewish-Christian relations "have scarcely ever risen above a monologue." To help promote a "real dialogue," they emphasize ways to bury residual Catholic prejudice and misunderstanding. An important section on education warns that "the Old Testament and the Jewish tradition founded upon it must not be set against the New Testament in such a way that the former seems to constitute a religion of only justice, fear and legalism, with no appeal to the love of God and neighbor." It then cites biblical passages to demonstrate the love of both in Judaism...
