The President also wants Congress to ensure quickie tax-cut procedures that would allow fast-but temporary-action should a recession appear in the offing.

Charlie is a rakish Hollywood screenwriter who has a way with other men's wives. Shot by a jealous husband (Walter Matthau), the roue returns to life in flesh-toned Reynolds wrap, presumably to see how the other half lives. "It's the Old Testament!" shouts Curtis as the miracle dawns. "The tables have turned-there's a grandeur about it that's staggering...
