Liberals like Robert Mclntyre of Citizens for Tax Justice, a Washington public interest group, attacked the Wall Street Journal editorial. Two factors, they say, accounted for the shift in the tax burden, both of which had nothing to do with supply-side economics. First, inflation pushed many people into the $50,000-and-up bracket.

...transition toward civilian rule was supposed to begin this week with the first full meeting of the nine-member "advisory council" that will govern until elections can be held. But that session now seems in doubt since Alister Mclntyre, the Grenadian economist appointed by Governor-General Sir Paul Scoon to head the council, has fallen ill.

John Mclntyre, the titular head (Moderator) of the Church of Scotland-the first time that a Pope had met Scotland's leading Protestant on Scottish soil. The meeting occurred in the shadow of the stern gaze of a statue of 16th century Calvinist Reformer John Knox, who once said, "The venom and malice of Satan reigneth in all Papists." Mclntyre seemed unintimidated by the setting: "If you are concerned at all for the unity of the church in Scotland, where we have a very bad record," he said...
