Then the Vice President rose to propose a toast to the guest of honor. Some people, Agnew began, found his manner of speech alarming, but there was no need to worry about that now: "All of you with tightened sinews and constricted sphincters can relax." A distinct chill settled on the room. One White House adviser slowly dropped his head to the table and cupped both hands over his ears...

Burns, who is scheduled to become Federal Reserve chairman in January, said last month that "we will not budge." Simultaneously, however, Labor Secretary George Shultz began arguing for an immediate but moderate expansion of money and credit. Though he lost the argument, he soon may gain an important ally. Paul McCracken, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, believes that the severely restrictive policy has been correct so far, but now he is beginning to wonder whether the time...
