...situation in Connecticut was special-but not the anger at politicians who seem to mislead the public. A milder form of that anger was directed here and there at the Administration for continuing to issue rosy proclamations about the economy. Republican James Scheurenbrand, a bank president in Evanston, Ill., plans to vote for Nixon again, but he recently objected that "glowing statements from Washington are at variance with what people are experiencing. There is too much hard sell. It's eroding the Administration's credibility. People are looking for real answers." Republican Senator William Roth of Delaware recently...
...improvement in real earnings. The stock market rose by over 30% during that period and then lost all its gain during the decline of 1969-70.

For the half-beguiled, half-annoyed, unyoung straight reader, Richard Brautigan's gentle, shaggy little books have in them much of what is both very nice and too easy about the kid culture: its music, its mobility, its sex, the milder varieties of its pharmaceutical voyaging. Brautigan, at 36 an honorary kid, floats through his books on pure talent. If he does not seem to work very hard at his writing, well, they repealed the Protestant ethic after all and insouciance is one of his major attractions. His new book...
...real problem. He can take it out of the country, entirely legally, deposit it in a secret Swiss bank account, then arrange to have the bank return it as a foreign "loan"-and defy the IRS to say it is not. That is only one of the milder variants of a sophisticated array of illegal ploys that have been made increasingly easier in recent years by the proliferation of Swiss banks in the U.S. and U.S. banks in Switzerland and the Bahamas. U.S. officials most intimately concerned with the problem conservatively estimate that the misuse of secret bank accounts...
