Which leaves Chris Clemenson, or the real tragedy of On the Lam. Clemenson is a hugely talented actor who can trigger hysteria with any of a dozen subtle expressions or inflections. Predictably, he does not seem all that happy with his role in this show--he ends up like Olivier in any of his recent roles, desperately mugging and overacting to compensate for the script--and maybe a little resentful, a little angry with himself for getting involved in all this. Actually, it's a lot like watching Olivier host Saturday Night Live. Worse, Borowitz and his court...
Supply economics began to reemerge during the worldwide boom of 1971-73, when food, steel, chemicals and other basic industrial materials became scarce, helping to trigger the worldwide inflation. The initial intellectual reponse to that situation was a renewed call for economic planning: if industrial bottlenecks or world food supplies are the cause of inflation, then a more careful planning of capacity and production seems only logical. Not much came of this initiative as the economy sank into recession and slow growth, though traces of the planning philosophy can be found in the legislation that was finally passed under...

A recessed economy or student demonstrations such as those in the late '60s could trigger depression among employees, he adds...

...fiscal 1980 with the intention of balancing the budget the following year. But inflation has wrecked these plans, and additional spending is expected. To get SALT II approved, its supporters will probably have to agree to increased defense outlays of as much as $7 billion. The recession may trigger further spending; a jump of 2% in the unemployment rate could add $40 billion to the deficit because of lower tax revenues and higher spending on social programs. If there is a tax cut to combat the recession, that alone could push the deficit for fiscal 1980 to $50 billion...
