...bandwagon picks up steam, as the New York Senator runs away with the Puerto Rico and Arkansas caucuses and shows a devastating 22-point lead in national surveys over Glenn, the only remaining serious Democratic candidate. If the November election were held today, Ali would dethrone Reagan by some 10 percent, according to national polls. "I'll say one thing with certainty/Eighty four is the Year of Me," the Senator predicts...
...speed a recovery, including several proposals to reduce unemployment by creating hundreds of thousands of public works jobs. TIME's economists doubted that this strategy could have much impact. Similar programs enacted during recessions in the 1970s took a long time to reach full steam and had little lasting effect on unemployment. Said Rivlin: "The experience of the past decade has made economists a lot more skeptical about using the federal budget to create new jobs." Added Schultze: "We ought to put people back to work, as much as possible, in the jobs they were doing before the recession...
...roaring '20s, luxury knew no bounds. Five dollars could buy a ticket to New York on the Eastern steam ship lines.

Isaacs, unfortunately, adds little to the pivotal role of Jesus besides his face; his voice and assurance improve markedly toward the end of the show, but his projection of any moral leadership or savior-like attributes at all wavers...
...demand for this kind of housing may soon lose steam, however. Although industry analysts expect sales of mobile homes to rise another 10% next year, from an estimated 235,000 this year to 258,500 units, they think that falling interest rates will contribute to far stronger growth in sales of conventional housing. One reason: mortgage rates for mobile homes are usually pegged to consumer lending rates, which are not falling as quickly as rates available to site-built home buyers...
