President Pusey resigns in protest as he returns from a holiday weekend to find Mrs. Bunting ensconced in the President's mansion. Ronald Reagan, Republican candidate for governor of California, proposes to raze 40 blocks of central Watts and replace them with Disneyland. "Those people just want to be happy," he says...
Basically, Washington's economic managers scaled these heights by their adherence to Keynes's central theme: the modern capitalist economy does not automatically work at top efficiency, but can be raised to that level by the intervention and influence of the government. Keynes was the first to demonstrate convincingly that government has not only the ability but the responsibility to use its powers to increase production, incomes and jobs. Moreover, he argued that government can do this without violating freedom or restraining competition. It can, he said, achieve calculated prosperity by manipulating three main tools: tax policy, credit policy...
Imitation Behind the Curtain.

Finally, they fall jointly in love with a doomed revolutionary (George Hamilton) and continue to inflame the peasantry in his name. As Maria...

Such is the sardonic opinion of France's Georges Conchon, a former Secretary-General of the Central African Republic, and he expresses his opinion with sadistic delight in this ferociously witty satire on the men and movements of contemporary Africa...
