...major issue before the public. Washington took on the character of a besieged city. On May 9 a crowd estimated at between 75,000 and 100,000 demonstrated on the Ellipse, south of the White House. The President saw himself as the firm rock in this rushing stream, but the turmoil had its effect. Pretending indifference, he was deeply wounded by the hatred of the protesters. In his ambivalence Nixon reached a point of exhaustion that caused his advisers deep concern...
...crowd isn't as big as some have predicted. By 10 a.m. there are still acres left unoccupied, and television monitors scattered in the far corners of the park look a little out of place. But a chattering stream of newcomers moves constantly across the Common, spilling out of the Park Street station. They are greeted first by a battalion of souvenir hawkers peddling commemorative medals, half a dozen brands of Pope programs, (the best of which has a full page of the holy father kissing the ground in different locales), dumb bumper stickers (I saw the Pope in Mass...
Where do the troublesome middle-of-the-roaders, usually identified as the main stream, stand on supply economics? Supply is the dominant determinant of the current business cycle.

While world attention has been riveted on the tragic exodus of 500,000 Vietnamese boat people who have escaped by sea to Southeast Asia, another virtually invisible stream of 251,000 refugees has made its way overland into the People's Republic of China.

Little was known of their fate until last week when Peking, hoping for aid from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, allowed...
Shortly after 6 a.m. last Tuesday, World Airways Flight 031 touched down at California's Travis Air Force Base. A stream of 396 Indochinese refugees began to struggle down the stairway with their makeshift shopping-bag luggage, pausing at the bottom to fold their hands and bow formally to the flight attendants. After a briefing in Khmer and Lao and the processing of health forms, the refugees were hustled aboard buses and taken to a TraveLodge motel for introductory lessons on American life: how to operate light switches, how to use a toilet. Many stood on the motel...
