...normally don't give much thought to politics, are capable of extraordinary action when they see something terribly wrong. As Lemmon said of his character, "No Caesar he--he was the average man, who behaved instinctively and morally unto himself when the circumstances demanded it, but he didn't plan...
...administration's inflation fighters regrouped and returned to Congress last week with yet another hospital cost bill for the new session. Patched together from the tattered remains of the original plan, scraped up from the Congressional floor, the new proposal is obviously the victim of a long political struggle.

...revolutionary actions. Toai in particular is bitter about the failure of the NLF ideals, and blames the Hanoi regime for co-opting the NLF and radicalizing its more moderate platform.

All automakers except General Motors plan a series of temporary plant closings this month to reduce bulging dealer inventories, but Chrysler's is by far the largest shutdown. Four of its five domestic auto plants and one that makes trucks and vans will close for at least a week, idling about 20,000 workers. Says Iacocca of the switches amid shutdowns: "We have to get profitable, we have to carve out a niche...
