...years Ohio Republican Clarence Miller has been proposing 5% reductions in the appropriations to run the federal departments-and has been ignored. Last week he demanded a 2% cut in the operating funds for the departments of Health, Education and Welfare, and Labor-and the cut passed the House, 220 to 181.

Businessmen searched for influence in the subterranean corridors of power, using lawyers and fixers, fearful of bureaucrats, reporters and sunshine...
...Glen Young, a farmer in Ravenna, Ohio, after a prolonged hassle, got Western Reserve Mutual to pay $2,100 for his pickup truck, which ran into a ditch and was totally wrecked last October. A few days later, says Young, "I was told that my coverage would be terminated in 15 days, not only on the policies on my three vehicles, but also on the farm policy I have had for eleven years with Western Reserve's sister company, Lightning Rod Mutual." Young protested to his Senator, Democrat Howard Metzenbaum, and his coverage was extended after an aide...
