...plus liquor stores. The celebrated Mall stretches about a mile from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial on the shores of the Potomac. On either side of it loom numberless federal buildings. Except for the Pentagon, it's all right there. Most of the buildings are the familiar second-rate parodies of the Panthcon and, as Greenough pointed out over a hundred years ago, there is nothing sillier than America trying to be Corinthian. Perhaps every President for the last hundred years, tired and frustrated at the end of his term, wanted to bequeath some mark of concrete and marble...
...incidence, he reports, is especially high among prostitutes and the poor, regardless of creed or color. The death rate is twice as high among low-income Negroes as among all whites, but no higher among high-income Negroes than among high-income whites.

ECKSTEIN: The Administration is in for some unhappy months. But you have to keep it in perspective. First of all, the unemployment will not be recession unemployment. Small changes in the unemployment rate do not have any visible effect on social unrest. Unrest has been at its peak when unemployment was low. As long as the Administration can show progress toward price stability, and as long as it can keep us out of a recession, I don't think that the voters will have anything to complain about...
