To keep outlays from rising even higher, Ford also called for spending cuts of $17 billion this year and next. What emerged as the budget's main feature was the Grand Canyon-scale gap that it would accept between income and outgo. Between Ford's own $16 billion tax cut proposal and the general shrinking in revenues caused by the recession, the projected deficits come to $34.7 billion for this year and an additional $51.9 billion in fiscal 1976-the deepest peacetime flow...

The lyrics produced by Minnie Riperton, 26, are a bit less worldly. Her songs about personal motivation, spiced with a soupçon of I'm O.K.-You're O.K. philosophy, are deliciously upbeat.
