...Like a losing football coach who somehow manages to take credit for the other team's victory, Duryea has been able to double-talk and double-think his most notable legislative retreat into a key win--and he is getting away with it. The most recent New York Post poll shows Duryea leading Carey by 5 per cent...

When the Minnesota poll gave Boschwitz a 23-point lead in August, a worried Anderson began to hit back hard, insisting that Kemp-Roth would require a 20% cut in federal spending and cause an "inflationary explosion."

Only 20% reported an increase in their standard of living, vs. 31% last spring. The latest consumer price index offered little comfort. It rose six-tenths of 1% in August to an annual rate of 7.4%, vs. a yearly rate of 11.4% in June and 62% in July. Food prices, which had been falling earlier in the summer, picked up slightly in August...
