Almost alone in the cacophony, private economists at two minisummits of their own blew a very certain trumpet summoning the Government to attack the myriad federal laws and regulations that already benefit special interests - including portions of the Government itself - to the detriment of anti-inflationary policy. The economists denounced such contrivances as methods of restricting competition, propping wages at high levels and sustaining lofty prices for oil, ship ping, meat, even uranium for nuclear power plants. If the more invidious pieces of tailored legislation were repealed or amended, suggested Harvard Economist Hendrik S. Houthakker, the nation's entire...
...tours of the temple, which one Washington newsman has called "a bleached Emerald City of Oz," should certainly accomplish that.

He composes a jazzy lyric for "Kid Punch" Miller, who played trumpet with Jelly Roll Morton, and a kind of epitaph for a Pueblo Indian grave robber beset by legal problems and liquor...
