...deficits grow that large, a greater board increase is likely to come next term. To cover the deficits the hike would have to be about $1 per $6000 lost, plus an additional $30 or so to cover future inflation...
...lower court earlier had enjoined the COLC from enforcing Phase IV guidelines that would require the price cuts; they will now go into effect Sept. 8. The COLC has also demanded that Atlantic-Richfield Co. (ARCO) justify a 1?-per-gal. increase on gasoline and a 2?-per-gal. hike on fuel oil that the company posted Aug. 20.

Shultz himself announced last week that the Administration might ask Congress to increase the federal tax on gasoline, though he stressed that no firm decision has been made.

But I was most pleased at private discoveries--finding that a denunciation of an MTA fare hike someone once sang for me was originally a Progressive Party campaign song from the 1948 Boston mayoral race, or recognizing "The House Carpenter," an English Ballad, as a source or relative of Dylan's "Boots of Spanish Leather." There are enough songs for everyone to make similar discoveries of his own, or just to revel in familiar things, like...
