...Dilatory Approach. The battles were not yet over, and it seemed likely that the Senate was about to deny the President his welfare reform and trade quotas, and might still shoot down the SST. It had not even bothered to consider one of his most desired programs: a system of sharing federal tax revenues with the states. It had so altered another Nixon reform, a manpower retraining act designed to consolidate various antipoverty programs, that the President last week vetoed the resulting bill. His main complaint was that it provided too much money for what he called "dead-end, W.P.A...
...last thing any Democrat should do right now is identify the party with Nixon's economics. Says one Texan who knows both Johnson and Connally well: "The President [Johnson] feels that Nixon could be had on the economic issue." Nixon, announcing the appointment, pleaded for a bipartisan approach to the nation's problems.

Among those who pressed him on that point were Michigan's William Milliken, Delaware's Russell Peterson and New Jersey's William Cahill, who urged Agnew to abandon his "shotgun" attacks and adopt a more precisely targeted "rifleshot" approach...
Ultimate Cross. Gomulka's government has been moving-but slowly and ineffectively-to improve the economy. After lengthy discussions, the Central Committee approved a new Five-Year Plan for 1971-76 and a progressive approach that economists refer to as "the New Economic Strategy." It made sense in theory but, as Alexis de Tocqueville noted, the most dangerous time for a government is hot when conditions are bad but when the regime is trying to make them better. Demonstrating both arrogance and a lack of touch with popular feelings, the government neglected to explain adequately what it was doing...
Angel painting never recovered from the blow dealt by the Reformation. After Luther's proposal that men could approach God directly by faith through grace, with no intermediaries, the angels were theologically unemployed. The gap they were meant to close had been written out of existence; they were reduced to mere attendant lords, thunderbolt carriers to swell a scene or two. Nineteenth century rationalism seemed to finish them off for good. The remark of a Victorian doctor, that he had never met the soul in a dissection, found its artistic parallel in Gustave Courbet...
