...even the politicians on the commission were unwilling to gamble that an economic boom would save them from difficult decisions. New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat who last year leveled a charge of "political terrorism" against those who said that Social Security was on the brink of bankruptcy, groused that the $150 billion to $200 billion figure was too high, but he went along with it "in the interest of harmony...
...scourge of the left, spending at least $1.2 million to help sweep away such liberal luminaries as Senators Frank Church, Birch Bayh, John Culver and George McGovern. Scenting total victory, NCPAC Chairman Terry Dolan immediately announced a 1982 hit list of 20 Senators, including such improbable targets as Pat Moynihan of New York and Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts. Political realities eventually shrank the list to five, but NCPAC still raised $10 million and spent $4.5 million in the 1982 elections. Yet last week, for all its thunder, the New Right could claim partial credit only for the defeat...

...detached forum where nations can say what they want. It is an important part of diplomacy, and should be looked at seriously by the participants " If anything, the White House attitude is echoed even more emphatically by Congress. Last April, at the urging of New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives passed a resolution calling on the U.S. to suspend its participation in the General Assembly if Israel were ever expelled. The greatest pressure for tough U.S. action is coming from conservative circles. In a forthcoming study, the Washington-based Heritage Foundation...
...Northeast-corridor service, the Interior Department agreed to turn the building over to the Department of Transportation, which wanted to turn it back into a train station. By then, however, inertia had set in. Bills to transfer control died in committee. Finally last year, Congress passed a bill, as Moynihan put it, "to return the building to its use before Congress began fumbling with it." It authorizes the Government to spend $69 million more to undo what it did. Another $9 million has been approved for roof repairs. If the rusting parking garage ever opens, each...
