...arguments about the stultifying impact of the rising property tax. Nobel-prizewinning Economist Milton Friedman, now teaching at Stanford, made TV commercials free of charge to back 13. Claims Friedman: "If we continue the growth of government and its involvement in our lives, it will destroy us." Former Governor Ronald Reagan has rallied behind Jarvis. All but invisible in the campaign is Paul Gann, 65, a retired real estate salesman who heads a Sacramento-area anti-tax lobby, People's Advocate, and shares billing on the ballot (Proposition 13 is also known as the "Jarvis-Gann initiative...
Whoever wins will look much shorter on experience than the popular Case, who has been endorsed by Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger. Case is opposed in the G.O.P. primary by Jeffrey Bell, a former aide to Ronald Reagan. Bell warns against "bracket creep" (putting taxpayers in a higher income tax bracket because of inflation) and backs a House bill calling for a 30% general cut in income tax rates. At the moment, Bradley is a slight favorite over Leone, and Case a heavy favorite not only next week but in November as well...
Just about the time Carter was saying all those nice things, a new Louis Harris poll was clattering over the wires with some not-so-nice figures.

Among Democrats, moreover, Ted Kennedy would swamp Carter, 60% to 35% (and would beat the two Republicans handily as well). California's Jerry Brown? Nowhere. Ford would defeat Brown...
Driven by winds and currents, enough of these icebergs could drift southeastward into Prince William Sound and the waterways now used by supertankers ferrying oil south to virtually halt traffic. Explains Coast Guard Captain Ronald Kollmeyer: "When you have literally thousands of icebergs in the shipping lanes, you can't drive an 800-to 900-ft. tanker through that sort of gauntlet." Last August, the glacier's calving increased enough to force closing of the Valdez lanes to night traffic for nearly a week...
...participants of "violating every standard of the community under the guise of art." The Providence police apparently shared his indignation. Under a new antipornography law that had been signed the very day the show opened, the cops raided the place and seized some 43 drawings and paintings. City Solicitor Ronald Glantz hoped, however, that he would not have to prosecute. Said he: "The whole thing is absurd. The law is unconstitutional. We'd have to put shorts on half of the city's statues...
