After flings with Keynesianism and supply-side economics, the U.S. should return to traditional conservative policies. That is Herbert Stein's message in Presidential Economics - The Making of Economic Policy from Roosevelt to Reagan and Beyond (Simon & Schuster; 414 pages; $16.95).

This infectious credit sequence is the work of Wayne Fitzgerald and David Oliver, who lent similar magic to the title song from Nine to Five.
