...tested Americans' capacity to absorb economic shock. Consumer prices doubled during the sputtering '70s, but it was in the decade's final year that the previously unthinkable became commonplace reality. The year that brought 13% inflation, 14% mortgage rates and 15¼% prune rates also saw $225-a-day hospital rooms, $500 off-the-rack men's suits, the 25? Hershey bar and the $3.50 martini. Millions of Americans had to postpone their dreams for a home of their own; the average price of a few-frills new house surged from...
...first heard of that encounter a year ago from Clare Crawford, a former Post staffer who is now a PEOPLE Magazine Washington correspondent. Crawford had just received from Brzezinski an autographed picture taken after she interviewed him for PEOPLE. At Crawford's office, says Quinn, she thought she saw a photo that showed Brzezinski unzipping his pants. Though hazy on details, Quinn now says that she heard someone say that this was indeed what Brzezinski had done. Before Quinn's series went to press, the Post tried unsuccessfully to get the wording of Brzezinski's inscription...
...most recent meanderings correctly, of integration. Each new fashion had been hailed as a panacea: 'Now we shall vanquish, now the machine will work!' Each had gone out with a whimper, leaving behind it the familiar English muddle, of which, more and more, in retrospect, he saw himself as a lifelong moderator.

...thing; figuring the economics of woodburning is quite another. The countrified city man who got Linda stuck in the mud has eight cords of wood, harvested from his own property, split and stacked under cover. He will heat his house this year for about $100 ?$55 for chain-saw parts, the rest for saw and truck fuel as well as stovepipe. Electric heating, which is built into his house, would cost far too much to think about; for oil, he would have to pay about $1,100 for the winter (150 gal. of No. 2 oil are about equal...
...Ayatullah Khomeini and an anti-Shah poster, Marine Corporal William Gallegos seemed fit and lucid. His remarks were excerpted on the evening news and aired in full during a half-hour special later that night. He said that, among other things, none of the 30 or so hostages he saw regularly had been mistreated or brainwashed. The six minutes of propaganda from "Mary," which would have cost a political candidate $32,000 at that hour, were rambling restatements of the students' positions. The broadcast produced front-page headlines across the country, but the substance of the interview was soon...
