Government economists, believing that the economy is malleable, intend to take it from there. Once the surtax has cooled off the inflationary situation, Washington experts intend to heat up the economy again...
...with their cinematic technique is that while it requires only a grainy black-and-white script, they give it a glossy, Technicolor treatment. Every irony is underlined, every climax hammered home, every scene overstuffed with authentic touches from their well-stocked notebooks.
