...receiving end of the battery will be held down by Harvard captain Dan Williams. John Friar will back up Williams while Kevin Carr and Bob Murray also have a shot to see some action at the position. Catching casualties have been high so far this year as Williams has a hurt ankle, Friar a bad back, and Murray a bruised hand...
...urging quick action by Congress. "The immediate requirement is for a tax cut," says Greenspan. "Let's get on with the tax cut," echoes James Lynn, director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Economist Murray Weidenbaum, a Republican, urges Congress to cut taxes quickly in order to stimulate demand and employment. "The Ways and Means proposal for a $100 to $200 rebate is peanuts," he says. "It's not enough to enable anybody to put a down payment on a big-ticket item. There was nothing wrong with Ford's idea for rebates of up to $1,000." Weidenbaum also recommends that the Government speed the flow of federal contracts: "Order today what is supposed to be ordered next month." Like Bunting, he is afraid that if Congress waits too long...
