...long walls, inscribed with the names of 57,939 killed or missing in America's last war, are simple, elegant and dignified, everything the Viet Nam War was not. By the end of last week the adjacent ground was a fringe of private memorial icons: messages in ink and gold glitter, photographs, candles, tiny flags and hundreds of flowers. Virginian Larry Cox, one of four survivors from a 27-man platoon, found the black granite chilling. Still, he said, "it's a first step to remind America of what...
...Talk, they call William Shakespeare 'Willie the Shake'! You know why they call him 'Willie the Shake'? Because HE SHOOK EVERYBODY!! They gave this Cat five cents' worth of ink and a nickel's worth of paper, and he sat down and wrote up such a breeze, WHAMMMMM!!! Everybody got off! Period! He was a hard, tight, tough Cat.

Piped classical music plays softly in the background. A pen-and-ink drawing of Konrad Adenauer, West Germany's first postwar Chancellor, hangs in solitary prominence on one wall. Outside the office of the present Chancellor, Helmut Kohl, gardeners, mow the lawn and vacuum the leaves shed by the towering oak trees that screen the building from the Rhine near by.

With the Federal Government all but drowning in red ink, scant attention has been paid to the fiscal health of the states. Now two studies show that there is cause for concern. While not nearly as badly off as Washington, the states are busting their budgets at an alarming rate. The Bureau of the Census reports that, while state revenues rose 12.2% to $310.8 billion last year, spending increased at a faster rate (13.1%) and overall indebtedness jumped 10.6% to $134.8 billion. Seven states (Massachusetts, Kentucky, Indiana, South Dakota, South Carolina, New Jersey and New Hampshire) could not balance their...
...deficits by further cuts in social programs. That may be necessary, but it will be far from sufficient. Reagan's aides figure the most that can be saved is $50 billion a year. Alternatively, Reagan tells his aides that the long-awaited recovery will stem the red ink. That is an equally wan hope: by one Administration estimate, an upswing that would reduce the jobless rate to 7% next year, which is far more of a boom than anyone dares to predict, would still leave a deficit of about $100 billion annually...
