Actually, it will take a series of miracles to keep the deficits out of the twelve-digit range, which the budget document concedes "would impose extreme pressures on financial markets-[and] undermine the outlook for continued monetary restraint, reduced inflation and economic growth." To begin with, the estimate that the fiscal 1982 figure will stay a hair below $100 billion depends on the highly dubious assumption that Congress will enact further cuts in such programs as food stamps, welfare, Medicare and Medicaid to take effect in the remaining eight months of the year. The $91.5 billion projection for fiscal...
Linkage means making cooperation with Moscow in one area contingent on Soviet self-restraint in others. That proposition has a profound appeal for any American who ponders the dilemma of having to share the planet with a nation like the U.S.S.R. Soviet internal and foreign policies are anathema to American national interests and to universal humanitarian values. Yet the dangerous accumulation of thermonuclear weaponry by both superpowers makes it imperative that they try to get along. Therefore, even the most righteously anti-Soviet Secretaries of State almost always pick up where their predecessors left off, sitting down with the durable...

Security Council resolution that calls for sanctions against...
...gaslight-era crystal chandeliers to the newly bronzed dome, the 66 rooms resound with memories of cattle barons, gold-rush millionaires and homesteaders from earlier eras. One carefully repaired mosaic depicts Minerva deep in thought, accompanied by the state symbol: a grizzly bear. That symbolic partnership of classical restraint and belligerent frontier exuberance not only characterizes the intent of the capitol's original builders, but speaks for the restoration itself. Says Architect Raymond Girvigian, the project's chief historian, "History provides the binding force that welds people together. This, now, is a functional building that people can walk...
