...stop the wage-price spiral wrinkled many a Washington brow last week. One possibility which the Administration shudders to think about: a national policy limiting wage increases to those justifiable by rising living costs and improvements in actual output.

Said Dr. Raymond Saulnier, new chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers: "Federal monetary and fiscal policies cannot solve the [inflation] problem, though they can do much.

Malone Dies will furrow many another critical brow, but few will quarrel with the author's description of his hero's basic condition: "molten gloom...

When he picks up a phone, pudgy fingers aflutter, he stretches an inquiring eye, screws up his brow, puckers the right corner of his rubbery mouth and startles the operator with Broadwayese: "Connect me to de outside woirld!"
