Taxes Are a Clue. The cause of the crisis is the steadily rising cost of state responsibilities. Previously approved increases in state aid for education, welfare doles and Medicaid costs alone are expected to add $800 million to the New York budget...
...Will the U.S. economy continue to expand in the year ahead? One reliable clue can be found in capital spending, the money that businessmen invest in new plant and equipment. This year's outlay will reach about $64.5 billion, and until recently, forecasters had expected little if any gain in 1969. Behind the pessimism were two negative portents: capital spending fell by an annual rate of $2 billion in this year's second quarter; and in the third quarter, the nation's plants were producing at 83.3% of capacity, a five-year low. Even so, economic signals...
...crucifixion Mirko uses a frigid yellow -- a moon yellow. With many black, downward curves to suggest mourners, and sharp linear arrows for Roman spears, pain and sickness hit a viewer immediately.

...sense of guilt, and each time guilt was successfully defied, one had learned a little more about the contractual relation of one's own existence to the unheard thunders of the deep--each time guilt herded one back with its authority, some primitive awe--hence some creative clue to the rages of the deep--was left to brood about. Onanism and homosexuality were not, to Mailer, light vices--to him it sometimes seemed that much of life and most of society were designed precisely to drive men deep into onanism and homosexuality; one defied such a fate by sweeping...
