...economists boldly predict for the year's end if Carter's proposed budget cuts and ever-higher interest rates come to pass. It is more than a little ironic that the people who suffer the most from high inflation--the poor, the jobless, the sick and the elderly--would bear the burden of a shrinking federal budget. With interest-group politics at its zenith, the weak and disorganized would, as usual, lose out. According to a Prentice-Hall estimate, for example, the recently passed changes in corporate taxation (from a normal and surtax basis to a graduated tax), will reduce...
...Exercising more influence in the Budget Committee than in the House as a whole, advocates of increased social spending may be able to prevent the hike in military spending. Says David Obey, a liberal Democrat from Wisconsin: "I am not going to tell old people that they have to bear a double load because our NATO allies need more money for defense...

Corea continually rearranged the group's charts during the tour, and in spots they bear the stamp of an impressive musical imagination. In the middle of Clarke's "Hello Again," Chick has the bass leap into a swinging stride figure, then covers a couple of choruses in classic cabaret-style piano. The moment is totally unexpected, and it inspires an otherwise weak composition. The big-band funk of "Musicmagic" becomes a vehicle for extended solo exchanges--Corea duels with Clarke's hard rocking bass, Joe Farrell's jazzy reed lines, and workhorse Gerry Brown's polyrhythmic drums...
