...making economic policy. He must be tutored. "Most Presidents at first would really like economics to go away," says Pechman. No such luck. But no sooner is a President put in the economics classroom than he is warned not to get too involved in details lest he miss the forecast for the trees. Carter has been told he may be learning too many economic details...

Until St. Helens' sudden reawakening, many Americans had blithely assumed that most of the volcanoes of their own Northwest were "dead." But scientists knew better. Only two years ago, two volcanologists from the Geological Survey made a perspicacious forecast. They wrote, "In the future, Mount St. Helens probably will erupt violently and intermittently just as it has in the recent life past, and these future eruptions will affect human life and health, property, agriculture and general economic welfare over a broad area...

Proposition 2 1/2, largely the product of greedy Bay State businessmen able to manipulate public opinion, looms threateningly, but the future is as gloomy as a March weather forecast even without the new law. As inflation drains the city's buying power, cutbacks in federal and state aid empty Cambridge's coffers. There are two ways out--but neither make sense in the strange algebra of American politics.
