There is a Tuesday morning prayer breakfast, which just last week heard Senator Lawton Chiles talk about Solomon's request to the Lord to give him a heart capable of listening to the people, of discerning right from wrong. About 20 people attended, including Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz. Now and then, men from the White House protective service, including policemen and Secret Service agents, have a prayer meeting.

As a result, the U.S. is enjoying a record harvest of food, which should ease the continuing rise in supermarket prices. It is doubtful, however, that an agency without a mandate to blow the whistle on private wage-price behavior could...
