...second thoughts developing in high places, had no instructions to stop the machinery. Treasury Secretary David Kennedy and his economists were skeptical about economic forecasts and revenue estimates supporting the prediction of a surplus.

That concern brought Kennedy into agreement with Economist Arthur Burns, who, on Feb. 1, will leave his post as Counsellor to the President to become chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

The final indignity came in the fourth quarter when the rugged quarterback was bounced on his shoulder and out of the game by Aaron Brown...

The President will no doubt be pressed to take into account the campaign contributions of oilmen, and the importance of the oil-producing Southwest to Republican political strategy. But unlike President Eisenhower, who established the quotas in the first place, Nixon now must also consider the rising resentment of consumers who are being overcharged to protect and provide so generously for a high-cost and overly privileged domestic industry...
