Last week the Vice President complained in Jackson, Miss., that the South has too long been "the punching bag for those who characterize themselves as liberal intellectuals." Maybe he had a point about the South, but he outdid himself in New Orleans by saying of the Oct. 15 Moratorium: "A spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals...

Builders complain that housing is being squeezed by the Government for the fifth time in 15 years.
