Yet in almost the next breath, he told a Manhattan meeting of the National Industrial Conference Board: "If ever there is to be a year of bliss for the American economy it will not be 1969."

Along with that, he said, will come a rise in unemployment, a profit squeeze on business, and continued but smaller price increases. Painful though that prospect is, Okun and many other experts on NICB's rostrums agreed that...

One reason for this is the Japanese philosophy of Seikei Bunri. That means roughly that economics and politics are separate and should never interfere with each other...
Garner and Reynolds desperately try to carry on in the tradition of the Rock Hudson-Doris Day sex farces of the '50s. But they are swiftly undone by shameless mugging, slow-running gags and hurried slapstick.
