Hard times, Morrill explains, keep people off the roads. The increase in unemployment, for example, means that fewer workers are fighting their way through accident-prone rush-hour traffic. Those who do get behind the wheel tend to drive more cautiously than usual and do not take as many long trips. A survey last year of the American Automobile Association's 14 million members showed that the number driving their cars on at least five out-of-town trips declined 20% between 1968 and 1970. The recession has also influenced U.S. drinking, which is involved in half...
...interview with TIME Correspondent Bonnie Angelo last week, Senator Buckley noted some pluses in Nixon's conservative ledger, especially his Supreme Court nominations. But there is disenchantment: "A rush to embrace China without counting the cost to the United States has created too high expectations here. A full-employment-budget type of thinking removes the discipline of red ink and black ink." The political alternatives open to dissident conservatives, according to Buckley: "They can stay home. They will not go out and win new votes through their enthusiasm. This is very important, because it is the conservatives who hustle...
...Nixon will have a grace period of several months, during which the original anti-inflation plan may still work out as George Shultz hopes.

Some of his aides say that for all his doubts he would just as soon have a wage-price board, simply to end all the debate...
Kennedy Myth. Certainly, if Ted Kennedy were to plunge into the primaries as an announced candidate, the McGovern candidacy would be all but buried. McGovern almost certainly would urge his followers to support Kennedy, and some of McGovern's aides would rush to Teddy's side. As one of the party's top pros put it: "McGovern wouldn't last five minutes." Yet that reality does not necessarily make McGovern a mere stalking horse for Kennedy. The most compelling reason for denying the charge is that many of those aides are thoroughly convinced that Kennedy...
...immediate peril is that a big rush from dollars into stronger currencies or gold could easily set off still another monetary crisis, one which would make Europe's brief speculative spree last May seem mild by comparison. Already there are enough dollars circulating in the Eurodollar market to empty out Fort Knox several times over. The deeper danger is that European governments will clamp stern controls on the international exchange of money-particularly on the inflow of dollars-and that the U.S. will put equally rigid controls on the import of goods. In Washington, there is much discussion...
