...Home Loan Bank Board Chairman Jay Janis predicts that mortgage rates, which now average 11.5% nationwide, could reach 14% by January. Meanwhile, the ability of consumers to pay for costlier credit, oil and everything else is rapidly declining. Washington Economic Consultant Michael Evans calculates that inflation and the rising tax bite have reduced the spendable income of a family of four earning $20,000 annually by $1,000 so far this year. If consumers suddenly begin closing up their wallets and pocketbooks, as they are expected to, inventories of unsold goods will rise and business will fall off sharply. Even...

Remember Paul Warnke, ditched after negotiating SALT II to pacify the Neanderthals, and Andy Young, shot down by the Israeli lobby after talking to people of the Palestinian persuasion? Forget Jimmy Carter...

Ted's record in the Senate is one of long and principled support for progressive legislation, from full employment to national health to tax reform. But S1 and its renumbered offshoots make you stop and think again. Nixon wanted above all to stamp out the demonstrators who were impeding his efforts in Vietnam, and the journalists who were leaking state secrets, and the blacks who were rioting and attacking private property--so he sent...
