What now for Arthur Burns? The President asked Burns to stay on as one of the Federal Reserve's seven governors; Burns' 14-year term in that post does not expire until 1984. Burns replied in stratospheric fashion: "The good doctor is in the habit of thinking now and then, and he'll have to think this over carefully." His decision may well be no. He could make good money on the lecture circuit, in the manner of Henry Kissinger or Gerald Ford. He does not seem to regard Miller as a dangerous radical whose influence would...
...nighttime decline is harder to explain, but there are probably several reasons. This year's emphasis on specials and miniseries-"stunting," as it is known on Network Row-has confused many viewers, leaving them uncertain when their favorite series will be on. "The old habit of most people was to think, 'If it's Saturday, it must be time for Mary Tyler Moore,' " says Tenebruso. "You can't assume anything any more.

(We later learned they were sent to protect us.) I went upstairs...
Businessmen contend that OSHA's most pernicious habit is to sneak up on them unawares without search warrants, a practice that is drawing increasing scrutiny from the courts. Since last January, 18 state and federal court decisions have been handed down against the agency for violating the Fourth Amendment guarantee against unlawful search and seizure. A suit is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the agency's authority to make inspections without a warrant. There is plenty of evidence that such tactics simply make enforcement all the harder. Says William Kemp, a furniture manufacturer in Goldsboro...
