Early one morning last week, Lyle Nelson, Stanford's director of university relations, flew into Washington's Na tional Airport, and immediately conferred with his friend Charles Forbes, a lawyer who represents California's asso ciation of independent colleges and universities. Together, they went up to Capitol Hill for a quiet chat with one of California Senator Thomas Kuchel's aides. Later Nelson talked by telephone with one of the state's Congressmen, J. Arthur Younger. After lunching with a well-connected Stanford alumnus in Washington, Nelson boarded another plane and flew...

At the same time, the "oceanic amplitude of these great cities," as Walt Whitman rhapsodized in 1870, has cast up a titanic tide of troubles...
While Washington debates a federal tax increase, the inescapable fact is that some taxes are already on the rise. State and local taxes are growing by 9% a year, or almost twice as fast as the na tional income. On a per capita basis that counts infants and indigents, the tax bill averages out to $916 - $53 more than last year - and $303 of it is siphoned off by states, counties, cities and towns...
