...widespread feeling that the uncertainties of the war in Viet Nam have made it even more tentative and inexact than budgets customarily are-and that the President has had to use every trick of ledgerdemain to hold down the deficit to $1.8 billion. Budget Director Charles Schultze defends his handiwork as "a highly responsible budget," but criticism, like the budget itself, seems to keep on growing. Says Joseph D. Ardleigh, executive vice president of the Research Institute of America: "The budget counts on savings that won't be made and receipts that won't be gotten...
...terrific style and overwhelming argumentation. In fact, this is the first article I've ever read in a Harvard Review that is just plain fun reading, even if you aren't interested in the topic.

Rodeo ropers...
...dear old Mother, Booth advances from obscurity to quasi nobility as inheritor of a fabulous English country seat-actually Blenheim Palace, where much of the filming took place, marking a ruinous setback to the dignity of Britain's stately homes. Hollywood Writer-Director Andrew Stone's handiwork, billed as a black comedy, hues to the popular misnomer for any movie that dares to flaunt some inept waggery or mishandle a corpse. Secret obviously deserves a description of another color. "Green-sickly" might...
