...cannot defend Carter's record on the economy, but Reagan would be worse. To argue that one can slash taxes (Reagan supports the Kemp-Roth proposal), increase defense spending and balance the budget strikes us, as Reagan's own running mate (and a terrifying personality in his own right) has said, as "voodoo economics." Where Carter has consistently supported labor, Reagan still questions the validity even of the minimum wage.

The U.S. military contingent supporting four electronic surveillance planes (AWACS) loaned to Saudi Arabia...
Epps said he believes $6000 to $7000 of that sum was embezzled by Olive before he left the service. Olive this week refused to call his financial mismanagement "embezzlement," but he did say, "I made some very bad decisions, and I'm not trying to defend myself...
