...rent subsidies, Medicaid, food stamps and other benefits - nearly as much as an average working family of four. As programs and benefits are reduced, the underprivileged - largely blacks and Hispanic Americans - may choose to move to areas where it costs less to live. Thus, while minorities will continue to grow in proportion to the rest of the population, the trend eventually could taper...
...stage rear. It was a masked man in a gray cowboy hat and black leather jacket, looking slender and spindly, picking his way cautiously forward through the microphones and cables. He gave his guitar a few licks and then, from behind the mask, started singing. The applause began to grow. After a pulsating rendition of an old favorite, It Ain 't Me, Babe, he pulled back the mask to reveal the familiar ironic smile and hawk's eyes of the single most influential poet of the entire rock era.

...swift spread, first of inflation, then of recession, across national borders has dramatized as never before the growing economic interdependence of all industrial nations. But that interdependence has not been matched by any close coordination of economic policy. The major countries continue to follow individual courses-and sometimes to shift policy abruptly.

Giscard's policy has also spurred consumer-price inflation, which inched up to an annual rate of 9.4% in September, almost a percentage point...
...Graham, Prosecutor Jill Wine Volner, Representatives Barbara Jordan and Elizabeth Holtzman. Aside from that, the book sags with speculation ("Yet there is a great deal that [Pat Ellsberg] does not say, but it is impossible to believe she has not felt") and shameless padding ("Jill Volner certainly did not grow up in a way that would lead any rational observer to suspect that she would ever break new ground or occupy a particularly unusual position"). Such blathering cannot hide a central fact: from Abplanalp to Ziegler, the actors and extras in the Watergate drama were disproportionately male. Mo Dean grasps...
