...Newport so fast, it would have been easier for the big-city reporter to unravel the mystery that is still swirling around this little town. Because if the reporter had been able to examine the Chrysler, he might have found tell-tale traces of paint. And according to Gertrude Baker, the paint happened to be there because an outraged neighbor splattered it on the car after Dominique Wilkins, her son by an earlier marriage, decided to enroll in the University of Georgia last spring...

...must have gone mad to countenance the evolution of such an absurd system to elect a President. That important men like Kennedy and Baker and Brown are already devoting most of their not inconsiderable abilities to elect themselves to a presidency that begins in January 1981 is incredible. That the President, with his incalculable responsibility, must concentrate for over one-quarter of his tenure on his re-election is perilous for the nation. That millions will be spent on the campaign rather than to alleviate the suffering in Cambodia is obscene. Yet this insane system does not guarantee the best...

Then the delegates filed out to punch their voting cards. The results: Reagan, 34.4%; Connally, 26.6%; Bush, 21.1%; Crane, 13.8%; Baker and Dole less than 1%.

George Bush advocates a $20 billion tax cut in 1981. Teddy Kennedy thinks a pump-priming cut may be necessary in 1980, but is not yet sure. John Connally wants a crowd-pleasing $50 billion to $100 billion tax reduction spread over three to five years, while Howard Baker figures a four-year time frame is about right. Both Jerry Brown and Ronald Reagan would like lower taxes and a balanced budget (who wouldn't?), but want the cuts linked to a constitutional limit on the growth of federal spending...

...Howard Baker: His pursuit of the broad center has produced a six-point economic program that exudes moderation. He calls for a phased four-year schedule of tax cuts, of so far undetermined size. He pledges not to impose wage and price controls, promises to restrict the growth of the money supply, and vaguely calls for a two-year "moratorium" on the issuing of new regulations.

To stimulate saving and investment, he would exempt from taxation at least some...
