Opposition to the rest of Reagan's economic program is still too disorganized to have an impact on Congress. Yet resistance is developing. Last week Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy conducted a "policy forum," at which he assailed Reagan's plans as a "program of unfair sacrifice and unequal benefit based on an untested and uncertain economic theory." AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland, with almost dreary predictability, attacked the Reagan budget as "the most costly roll of the dice ever proposed for this nation." United Auto Workers President Donald Fraser termed it "bad economic policy and worse social policy...

PBS now makes $1 million a year by renting out time on its transmitting satellite; five local stations hope to make money soon on their new program magazine, the Dial, which has won all challenges to its nonprofit status. Chicago's WTTW is already making more than $300,000 a year on one of its subsidiaries, Chicago magazine. In addition, stations are leasing studio space to private producers, selling video cassettes of popular shows and pushing...
