There are two catches. First, this unexciting prospect is a best-case vision. It would take only minor errors by the Federal Reserve, the Administration and/or Congress to produce recession, an accelerating inflation or both. Worse, even under the moderate-slowdown script, inflation will simmer down only very gradually because it has become so deeply embedded in the economy...
...rehabilitation of Richard Nixon, though still in its infancy, is a frightening enough prospect to merit some serious attention even now. Gone are the "Honk If You Think He's Guilty" bumper stickers, given way to advertisements for RN, Nixon's slickly self-serving autobiography; vanished are the chanting, cheering crowds that streamed through the streets of Washington to celebrate on a hot summer night four years ago, replaced by the thousand or so who cheered the man like a hero out of exile when he visited Hardin.

But, you know, they don't look that big after you've been playing with them." The prospect of running for public office also has lost some appeal for him, though he doesn't rule it out altogether. "The relationship between theater and politics fascinates me," he says. "They both communicate ideas and both involve persuasion and compromise." More than ever, though, Beatty loves acting; he looks forward...
