...less than the 12.2% average yearly boost in the Reagan administration. Tirelessly, Brown proselytizes for reduced spending, probing with Socratic questioning that leaves many listeners in a rage. He startled the University of California regents by dismissing their verbose academic plan as a "perfect example of the squid process: ink spread across the page in unintelligible wordlike patterns that tell me absolutely nothing." He suggested that University President-designate David Saxon take a cut in his scheduled $59,500-a-year salary. Asked Brown: "Why in the world are salaries higher for administrators when the basic mission is teaching...
Washington these days is playing a confusing guessing game that might be called What's Our Deficit? or perhaps Can You Top This? Ever since President Ford submitted his budget in February, estimates of the likely red-ink figure for fiscal 1976, which begins July 1, have been escalating at something like a billion-dollar-a-day pace. The President initially proposed a $51.9 billion deficit; six weeks later the Administration upped the figure to $55.5 billion. Earlier this month, Treasury Secretary William Simon warned that the deficit could hit $80 billion...

His careful regulation of tonality enhances the sullen quality of the woman's somber face with large, searching eyes and pursed lips. In another set of drawings, Gorky uses pen and ink hatch marks exclusively to create more abstract human outlines...
...Kooning's portraits are equally fascinating. Portrait of Max Morgulis displays great sensitivity to the intensity of the pencil line. Subtle changes in pressure lend a delicacy to the face, which seems to emerge quietly from the paper. A less representational series of pen and ink drawings are devoted to the female form in relation to its surroundings. In Figure in Interior the human body is absorbed by bold black strokes that envelop it. The woman in Untitled, 1967, is swept up in the rhythm of the lines as one might be carried off by a hurricane...
