...report out the bill exactly as he had requested-extending the surtax at its present 10% rate for six months and continuing it for another half-year at 5%.

The committee vote of 16 to 9 was the result of prodding by Chairman Wilbur Mills, a Democrat, some nudging by John Byrnes, the ranking Republican, and a last-minute thrust by the President himself. Nixon sent Treasury Secretary David Kennedy and Paul McCracken, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, out to warn the public of the perils that...
...against: it is not coincidence that the term Establishment was coined in the realm that will some day belong to Charles.

President Nixon says that an attack on inflation...
...husband's turn has come. Where Mrs. Bridge served mostly as a target (roughly the size of a garage door), Mr. Bridge is approached with an odd mixture of respect, horror and wan amusement. The result is a strait-laced piece of comment on one facet of the American character more akin to Main Street than to the jocular psychedelic mayhem currently indulged in by black humorists...
