...annual budget resolution, which the House and Senate assumed as a major responsibility in 1974, amounts to a statement of principle setting forth what Congress decides should be the Government spending plans for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 . The Senate has passed its own budget resolution to spend $498.9 billion, and late last week members of the two chambers began working out a compromise that will be sent to President Carter early this week. Whatever the exact total finally is - and many economists believe it will be too high and burdened with too large a deficit - it will...
...rest of us a little uneasy, suggested we burn our I.D.s instead. She looked like a ladybug, the puckish girl sitting on Pater Noster's polished knee, spotted with buttons and stickers from past years.

That chilling statement at the end of the Red Brigades' "Communiqué No. 9" hit Rome like a thunderclap.

I think it more probable that it's a terrorist gambit to heighten the tension in the country...
There is a nagging, increasingly angry feeling that the Russians are getting away with too much in the world today and that, as last week's statement by the Republican Senators charged, the Carter Administration is to blame. Carter has undoubtedly made tactical errors in dealing with Moscow and may have been wrong to cancel the B-l bomber. But it is also too easily forgotten that tough talk and gestures do not amount to coping with Moscow. As far as local conflicts with the Soviets or their agents are concerned, post-Viet Nam America abhors any form...
