Greenspan defends the drastic medicine prescribed by Proposition 13. Says he: "Such brutal sledgehammer techniques turn out to be necessary to prevent government from continuing to increase its share of overall economic activity." Washington University Economist Murray L. Weidenbaum agrees: "If government doesn't cut rates, people have...
...around Amity (a.k.a. Martha's Vineyard), has a score by John Williams and stars a rather petulant shark. Roy Scheider, looking unaccountably like George C. Scott after a hunger strike, is back as the local police chief, and so are a few members of the Jaws supporting cast (Murray Hamilton, Lorraine Gary, Jeffrey Kramer). But the crucial elements of the original have vanished: there is no wit, no genuine terror and no cinematic dazzle. The first Jaws was made by Steven Spielberg, a virtuoso director with a Hitchcockian ability to whip an audience into a frenzy of simultaneous delight...

The leading professor is Murray Weidenbaum, a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury (1969-71) who knows his subject only too well. At the Center for the Study of American Business, which he heads at Washington University in St. Louis, Economist Weidenbaum, 51, is examining how the policies and regulations of B.I.G. are feeding inflation, impeding efficiency and otherwise rubbing up against private citizens. Given the bullish...
