...divided Congress has tried to keep a rein on the B-1 by limiting the total purchase order to $20.5 billion in 1981 dollars for 100 aircraft. From fiscal 1982 through fiscal 1984, Congress budgeted more than $11 billion for 18 planes. For fiscal 1985, which begins Oct. 1, the Administration is requesting funding to buy 34 more...
Mondale and Ferraro complement each other well on the stump, though the contrast in style can be jarring. Ferraro is breezy and colloquial, Mondale becalmed and formal.

Two weeks ago, Argentine President Raúl Alfonsín rejected an IMF austerity demand for cuts in wages and government spending, which was designed to curb his country's 568% inflation rate. Alfonsín sent the IMF a plan that promised workers 6% to 8% wage increases...
