...Meany is outraged by Ford's program, he remains deeply worried that the Democrats will play politics with the problem, "and load this depression onto the other party." Indeed, Meany has been disenchanted with the Democrats, labor's traditional friends, since the party's convention nominated George McGovern...
Tonight we load blankets into the trunk and drive west on impulse without leaving any messages behind. Sheree feels comfortable in cars. She can't handle people very well, but when a machine goes awry she rarely slips up. Her brow is usually rutted, which strangers take for anger. For me, Sheree has a sullen intrigue. To others, she radiates a tension that Ronda deflects with her glib smile and the glinting earring in a pierced nostril. They are always together...
Building Sentiment. The sudden surge of joblessness has swamped unemployment offices. Out-of-work people have to stand for hours in long lines in dreary surroundings and be subjected to snappish treatment by overworked clerks. Worse, because of the heavy work load in the offices, the checks on which the jobless depend are either not ready when they appear at the office or are late in arriving in the mail.

Actual Cost. One rate-reform concept that is gaining favor is "peak load" pricing. The price of power for all customers, big and small, would reflect the actual cost of generation at any given time of day.

Rates would drop late at night and on weekends, when demand is low. Advocates are persuaded that this system would reduce the need of utility companies to spend on costly new capacity and would offer customers...
...official sessions of a national conference on appellate justice that ended in San Diego last week, the central theme was the rising courtroom work load. During the coffee breaks and cocktail receptions at the del Coronado Hotel, it was clear that federal judges have a more pressing, personal concern: they are going broke. Since 1969, salaries have been frozen at $40,000 for district court jurists and $42,500 for those on the appeals courts. Last year six federal judges resigned, five of them for financial reasons. That was the largest number in 100 years...
