...liberal press expresses pious concern about divisiveness in the U.S. whenever conservatives fight for what they feel is right. Never a word is said about divisiveness when a few power-hungry "liberals" in the Senate pull out all the stops to smear a man like Poff in order to enhance their political aims...
...government conservationist. In 1968, he found oil clotting the underfeathers of 1 in every 100 longtails, a graceful sea bird that breeds in Bermuda. This year the ratio rose to 1 in 4. Wingate believes that floating particles of tar-perhaps caused by tankers pumping, out their tanks, smear the birds as they sit on the water. Since longtails die if oil sticks to their wings or is eaten in preening, their numbers are declining...
...what else can we do than "give peace a chance?" Terrorism?

Laffer uses only raw economic data; he ignores the seasonal adjustments that more conventional economists prefer because he thinks they "smear things." He also disregards such matters as the likelihood of a steel strike next summer, the prospective size of the federal deficit and the amount of money saved in banks. "These things all averaged out to zero when we tracked their effect [on the overall economy] in the statistics," he says...
