...week's lone liberal address, and Reagan delegates broke into noisy disapproval, NBC Anchor Men John Chancellor and David Brinkley contemplated a souvenir towel from the 1968 convention. With few thoughtful exceptions in the anchor booths-ABC's George McGovern on the vice presidency, CBS'S brisk Bill Moyers on virtually anything, Walter Cronkite on mercifully little for a change-television proved once again that it explains less effectively than it informs...

In marked contrast, spending by businessmen for new plant and equipment, which is critical to sustaining the business upturn, has been notably laggard. True, corporate capital spending is at last increasing, and most experts believe that it will reach satisfactory levels late this year.
