...Brown's message original or clear enough to win new converts. His call for a balanced budget is an echo of the cry the Republicans have been raising in Congress for two or three years--ever since their party's man was mercifully eased from office and its unpleasant demands upon him for coherent thought. Brown's thinking, at least on "Issues and Answers," (which is not one of television journalism's more rigorous hotseats), is still muddled. The governor sounded like a freshman who discovered in the second semester of Ec 10 "what's wrong with the economy," eagerly...
...bottom line-literacy, jobs, per capita income. I'm going to figure out what's right and do it. If it is right, the people will support it." So far, they have. Preliminary poll results show him with a 69% favorable performance rating, higher than Wallace ever commanded during his twelve years in the Governor's office...
...Pinyin is the biggest problem we have ever faced," said Richard R. Randall, executive secretary of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The board will have to alter thousands of traditional spellings on now outdated Chinese maps. Among the unhappy Sinologists was Tufts University Professor Donald Klein.

Enforcement regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency would sharply tighten the already strict standards on pollution emissions and make burning coal more difficult than ever. The amendments already require, among other things, that new coal-fired plants install highly complex "scrubbers" to remove sulfur pollution from exhaust smoke. The scrubbers cost $80 million or more for an average-size, 800-megawatt generating plant. What really upsets coalmen is that the regulations would force utilities...
...last number was The Stars and Stripes Forever, and that seemed just fine with the Chinese. Then Ozawa circled the oval floor along with his mother and an ever growing parade of musicians. Next morning almost the whole Peking Philharmonic showed up at the airport to say goodbye with gifts and mementos. Several private farewells ended in tears. Ozawa led his troops onto the 747. The final glimpse of the Americans must have made the Peking players smile. Pan Am printed the name CHINA CLIPPER on the sides in Chinese characters but, language misunderstandings being what they are, the sign...
