What's wrong with love, health, integrity and happiness? The only way to develop human potential is to believe it exists in each...
...fiscal 1980 the President has pledged to shrink it to $30 billion or less. To do so while also increasing defense spending he will have to cut some civilian programs-public service jobs, antipollution grants, subsidized low-income housing-and give up or delay some new initiatives.

A native of Oshkosh, Steiger served for six years as a state assemblyman before winning election to the U.S. Congress at age 28. A self-described moderate Republican, he co-sponsored the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, helped launch the volunteer Army, and this year proposed cutting the maximum capital gains tax from 49% to 25%. Despite opposition from President Carter, Steiger's colleagues eventually set the maximum tax rate...
