...since the Kennedys have we had a President who has so involved his family in official duties, sending wife, sons, daughter, mother, sister, cousin off to represent him. Some of Billy's earlier rednecking. Sister Ruth Stapleton's evangelizing, and commercial grabs by others have caused mild to middle embarrassment. Billy may now be a real issue...
...lichen to a rock, has the reality of paper as well as the metaphoric function of paint. The work is seldom fully abstract however. The predilection for landscape that runs through English art surfaced again in Nicholson soon after 1939, when he went to live in Cornwall.

Liberal economists, who had tirelessly insisted that federal policy should be aimed at stimulating demand and closing loopholes in the tax laws, began talking instead of the urgent need to encourage capital accumulation and private investment. Congress passed...
...with past inflation and protect themselves against future price boosts, and of companies to pass along all cost increases and add a bit more, makes inflation accelerate. At first Carter contented himself with pleas for restraint and named Robert Strauss as special counsellor on inflation to do some mild jawboning. Strauss's six-month tenure will be remembered mostly for one rueful wisecrack: "The score is inflation 100, Strauss 0." In October, Carter replaced him with CAB Chairman Alfred Kahn and proclaimed formal guidelines with some teeth. The rules: labor should hold wage and benefit increases to an average...
