Schultze portrayed this penny-pinching future with such flair that even Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns rose to congratulate him-a solid indication that the Administration had come around to Burns' conservative viewpoint. Said one congressional Democrat afterward: "This was a watershed. It's classic trickle-down economics. This guy doesn't want to do anything." Said G.O.P. House Leader John Rhodes happily: "That sounds so Republican I'm overwhelmed...
...feel that we are applying extraordinary standards. Judgments as to character are made as a matter of course in the appointment procedure. What makes the Kissinger case seem extraordinary are not special standards, but rather his extraordinary conduct--and we are speaking of actions, not his viewpoint--that violated even the most minimally acceptable standards of behavior for teaching. One does not normally need to inquire how much blood is on the hands of a prospective professor, or if there is such blood.

Like legislators elsewhere, some were impressed more by the viewpoint espoused in the road-show tactics of Phyllis Schlafly, an Alton, Ill., housewife and an active Republican, who wrote the right-wing treatise on Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential candidacy, A Choice Not an Echo. Wearing long, formal dresses, members of her "Stop ERA" brigades have descended on legislators, bearing gifts...
