...Council of Economic Advisers provided the first glimpse of an Administration's view of the economic road ahead. The report for 1976, out this week, mainly makes official what had been widely known to be the Government's expectations.

(Mormons still tithe at least 10 per cent of their gross pre-tax income; a University branch member once in charge of collections says he cried when he first saw how much church members had given.) In a later interview in his Mass Hall office, Peterson would brag that "in three hours we could mobilize 100 people by telephone to dismantle the Lars Anderson bridge. I don't think anyone else except the Spartacist League...
