...Never-Miss. In the Senate, whose members must risk the winds of public opinion only once every six years, sentiment is more favorable to the tax bill. Last week three Senators of markedly different persuasions-Democrat Robert Kennedy and Republicans Jacob Javits of New York and John Williams of Delaware-spoke in favor of a tax increase, coupled with judicious spending cuts.
