...American Heritage's forthcoming dictionary, which will be published jointly with Houghton Mifflin Co. next month. Polled by mail on lists of questionable words, the panelists reached a rough consensus that will be tabulated in the dictionary text.

The public, however, is so fed up with inflation and so sick of the surtax that it favors wageprice controls-by a 47%-to-41% margin, according to the latest Gallup Poll.
