Inevitably, there was a babble of conflicting suggestions (balance the budget to curb inflation, start public works programs to fight unemployment) and a good deal of general exhortation about the need for a strong hand on the national tiller. Democratic Senate Leader Robert Byrd thundered: "Mr. President, someone has said, 'Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid.' Once the American people understand the problem and rally in support of leadership, there is no problem they can't overcome." Connecticut Governor Ella Grasso advised Carter to "go out on the stump and talk to the people...

With the treaty, Brown maintains, preserving the nuclear balance with the Soviet Union would require increasing strategic spending, now $10 billion a year, to about $12.5 billion. But, he insists, without an accord, the Pentagon budget for strategic weapons would have to spurt to as much as $16 billion a year.

This year there are 264 requests for money from the same fund, but Governor Edward King, a Proposition 13 adherent, wants to trim the council's already inadequate budget by 15%. The private sector is unlikely to fill...
...Yale Rep veterans. He will need them. Harvard contributes $200,000 annually to the Loeb's operation, but Brustein needs almost $1.3 million more to launch his four-play spring season in 1980, as well as an additional $1.15 million for the following fall. Over half the budget will come from ticket sales. The rest? When a student asked Brustein where he might raise the money, he answered dryly: "I was hoping you'd tell...
