...mayoral elections in Los Angeles and Minneapolis. Lindsay lost by only 1.5%, and even in defeat has a good chance of re-election in November on the tickets of New York's Liberal Party and his newly formed coalition, tentatively called the Urban Party. Many voters, too, unquestionably felt that they had ample reason, apart from race or ideology, to oppose the mayor on his record, which has had more than its share of disasters.

...long before inflation will be stopped? Changes in monetary policy usually take six months to a year to be felt through the entire economy. Since the money supply was tightened only six months ago, White House Economist McCracken figures that the U.S. is now going through the "awkward months" of waiting for the effects to become vis ible. When money is restricted and taxes raised, the usual sequence is that pro duction slows down after some months, then profits drop and businessmen cut back on hiring. Prices are the last to fall.
