...both Langley and Orefice said that they had not received any feed-back from state legislators, although the two-cent campaign and the shanties had generated much popular support. A letter-writing drive to protest the budget cuts had produced 1500 letters as of March...
...spotlight on the quiet but crucial duel between Greenspan and George Bush over U.S. economic policy. In its stand against inflation, the Fed has resolutely tightened credit since last March, when the prime rate stood at 8.5%.

Yeltsin's success was a signal turnabout. Sixteen months ago, Gorbachev ousted the Moscow party boss after he passionately attacked the slow pace of Soviet reform. Last week Yeltsin overcame that taint as one of two candidates to survive the emotional twelve- hour meeting called to decide how many of ten proposed candidates would appear on the ballot for Moscow...
