...there is some action. The F.H. contingent must swing around a quarter turn. The result is hectic. Under the Defend the Democratic Rights of Oppressed Nationalities banner stands a short and stumpy man. A faded version of the Pillsbury Doughboy dressed in gray cap, jacked and pants, he stomps his feet in cadence with the archings of his eyebrows and the mechanical chomp of his tight-lipped mouth...
...pardoned Richard Nixon had President Gerald Ford aroused such a furor. Last week he signed into law the first phase of his economy and energy program, provoking a veritable gusher of criticism from across the political spectrum. It is an outpouring that will be hard for him to cap, and it could ultimately swamp his ambitious, multi-faceted program...
Nick Minard was a committed socialist. He didn't just sit over coffee at Adams House and identify with the proletariat by wearing work boots and a cloth cap.

The experts found that such a limit not only would bring back the long lines at the gas pumps but would worsen the current economic downturn. Administration predictions show that a "cap" holding oil imports to 1 million bbl. a day would gouge as much as $25 billion out of the gross national product and add upward of 400,000 to the unemployment rolls within a year...
