...effort to subvert dire suspicions of economic collapse, the Republicans have put their best hooves forward on the Senate floor, lurching from tax cut proposal to tax cut proposal. Usurping the populist initiative by adopting a stance historically reserved as a presidential re-election panacea, the GOP in the name of its soon-to-be coronated nominee Ronald Reagan has stolen some traditional Democratic thunder. President Carter last week called the proposal "irresponsible," adding that it would prove the first step in a plan that could cost the Federal Treasury $280 billion a year...

...Iowa, Anderson stood alone among GOP candidates in supporting the grain embargo of the Soviet Union. In New Hampshire he is a maverick supporting gun control. Some may quibble about Anderson's metamorphosis from "conservative" to "liberal"; but he does not differ from other campaigners for difference's sake. His willingness to state publicly his regret that he voted in favor of the Gulf of Tonkin resolution at a time of swelling militarist sentiment provides evidence that Anderson could resist the often overwhelming temptation to military intervention. Furthermore, his many years of congressional experience offer another vital prerequisite...
