As Republicans press for cuts in domestic spending, there is bound to be a series of bitter "guns or butter" appropriations battles.

This season the Associated Press shrewdly decided to wait until the bowl-game results were in before issuing its final rankings. With Steve Sloan hitting on 20 out of 29 passes, Alabama coasted to a 39-28 victory-and won its second straight national...

Lacking stockpiles such as it employed last fall to roll back aluminum and copper prices, the Administration now ordered key Government agencies to buy structural steel only from companies that held the price line. On top of that, Pentagon officials hinted that Bethlehem might lose $50 million in contracts to build two ammunition ships...
