...Pauper's Bequest. Though Nixon did not name him, the man he was answering is Wilbur Mills; the House Ways and Means Committee chairman has made plain his implacable opposition to revenue sharing. Normally as cautious in manner as he is with federal spending, Mills has become increasingly bitter over the economic picture presented in Nixon's budget as well as the political potential in the revenue-sharing plan. Mills believes that Nixon's deliberately expansionary budget would produce not the announced $11.6 billion deficit, but one of at least $24 billion and possibly as high...

But Prince was gone, having retreated to clip his coupons and count all his money. Moral: Uneasy lies the head...
...refusal to be any party's dog made a political pariah of him and a near pauper (he was unable at the height of his powers to get more than a $60 advance for a book). Doubtless today he would be equally unpopular for pointing out the moral obliquity of those doves on Viet Nam who became hungry hawks in the Israeli-Arab...
