...growing conflict, members of the Administration have criticized Burns' policies on four occasions, and the hard-nosed Fed chairman has replied in kind. In his view, business profits are too low, and something must be done to increase them to prevent economic recovery from petering out. Two weeks ago he declared: "Anyone who wonders why capital spending has been so halting or why stock prices have behaved so poorly for so long would be well advised to study this dismal record of what American business has been earning."

He need only have declined to testify on matters involving a conflict of these two oaths when he appeared on Capitol Hill; instead, Helms consciously chose to deceive the senators...
