...probably find himself with at least the $15 billion deficit for fiscal 1972 that he needs to make a dent in unemployment. The budget figures have not yet been fixed, however. Draft chapters circulating in the OMB had blank spaces where some numbers should have been. In one, a wag wrote: " 'A few honest men are better than numbers'-Oliver Cromwell...
...circus, a classroom and the Brothers Grimm. At first it was suspected of merely looking brilliant, compared with the boring horrors of standard children's programming. Vulgarity and violence dominate children's video: mice endlessly bombing cats, family "comedies" with dumb daddies, mischievous kids and dogs who wag their way into your heart, all accompanied by commercials as intense as the Chinese water torture ("Be the first on your block . . .

Richard Wag ner originally built the opera house in 1876 as a setting in which his music dramas would continue to be produced ex actly as he originally directed. Through the years, the composer's family followed his wishes, using the house for productions of Wagnerian operas that adhered slavishly - and sometimes stodgily - to the Master's wishes. After World War II, Grandsons Wolfgang and Wieland broke with...
