...course, every silver lining has a cloud or two. Might not the great Form 1040 income-tax fiasco (see following story) cut into consumer spending? And what if there were to be a strike in the steel industry, where labor-management negotiations last week seemed to be nearing a dead end? No matter. Most Americans would still find "buoyant" and "ebullient" excellent words to describe the state of the economy...
...year-old Earl Dove battened down his home, and started to move his family into the basement; the next thing he remembers is finding himself on a heap of splintered lumber, 50 ft. from the house. In Goldwater, Mich., a four-inch piece of straw flew like a steel-tipped arrow and imbedded itself in a woman's neck.

He spurns the friendship of a sympathetic social worker (Geraldine Fitzgerald), slowly begins to soften toward his troubled young Puerto Rican assistant (Jaime Sanchez), then crushes...
...three-piece serge suit with wide stripes and wider lapels, I.F. Stone looks rather like an old Jewish tailer from the Bronx, uncomfortably slicked up for his grandson's Bar Mitzvah. But when he begins to talk, eyes twinkling with more than a little demonic mischief behind utterly round, steel-rimmed bifocals, the alte zeda image evaporates...
