...that the Government is likely to run this fiscal year. That will be distasteful for a Republican President, especially Nixon. He has consistently, and correctly, blamed inflation on the deficit run up by Lyndon Johnson. Administration officials are bandying about ideas for making the deficit look smaller than they expect it really to be. Treasury leaders, for example, are urging the President to propose a "value-added" tax-a complex kind of sales tax widely used in Europe-and to include the revenues that it would produce in his budget estimates. Almost no one in Washington thinks that Congress would...
...Cardinal Mazarin. They assume grave countenances and huddle aside for a conference with Colbert, Mazarin's aid and confidant. Diagnosis: lung dropsy. Prescription: bleeding and the ingestion of rhubarb and precious stones. The opening sequences of Louis XIV possess all the touches of realism that we have come to expect of contemporary, slice-of-life realism, but it is a realism rendered bizarre by its historical setting.

While Dartmouth is fussing about its national statistics, Ed Marinaro will be doing the same. He may have real trouble with the Dartmouth defense and thus...

On both defense and offense they are superior to Princeton, and the game is to be played in front of a Yale crowd. Surely, we'd have to expect the Tigers to be eliminated from the Big Three title race. But anything can happen in football. Princeton 24, Yale...
...Goldhaber gives as lopsided an analysis of Abba Eban's talk as one could expect. At no time did Mr. Eban touch on anything of importance. He never questioned the validity of Israel's existence in the first place. Eban insinuates that the Arabs were the aggressors, but in fact the Israelis were the first to attack...
