Militant's goals are spelled out in ten documents that a former Labor Party official, Lord Underhill, uncovered nearly three years ago. These plans of action, which Callaghan categorized as "so turgid they were unbelievable," outlined methods for capturing Labor at the grass roots. The program of the group, dubbed "Red Moles" by London's Daily Mirror, also includes fomenting an economic and political crisis in Britain that would result in the apocalyptic collapse of capitalism. One key tactic advocated is "entryism," a neologism coined by Leon Trotsky in 1934 to describe the infiltration of legal political organizations...
Lord Underhill and other moderates argued that infiltration of the party by any group with its own "program, principles, and policy" was expressly prohibited by Labor's rules. By suppressing a report on Militant's documents, the N.E.C. rejected this argument by a vote of 14 to 12. In another rebuke to the party's center-right, the N.E.C. reinstated "Red Ted" Heslin, who was thrown out of the party a year ago on charges that he espoused revolution...
Those were three episodes last week in the continuing drama of TV-radio preaching, one of the most successful and controversial enterprises in American religion. Humbard's program was performed for the 37th and splashiest annual meeting of National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), a trade association for 900 programmers.

He thus became the latest presidential contender to seek NRB members' favor. But, mostly, the NRB convention air hummed with talk of stations...
Jimmy Carter this week sends Congress a 1981 budget that merrily spends money down both sides of the street. The election year program calls for substantial increases in both military and social expenditures. Spurred on by chilled Soviet-American relations, the President boosts Pentagon outlays 12%, to $142.7 billion. Concerned about attacks from his party's liberal wing and from Presidential Rival Edward Kennedy, Carter also increases spending on domestic programs by 9.4%, to $405.8 billion...
ENERGY. "Conservation is the principal component of the Administration's energy strategy," says the President's budget report. Expenditures for energy-saving programs will increase next year by 93%, to $1.2 billion. An additional $12 billion is set aside for a multi-year program to help utility companies buy new boilers and smokestack scrubbers needed to convert from oil to coal. Until the last days of budget preparations in mid-December, the President's economic advisers were urging a new gasoline tax of 50? per gal. as the most powerful conservation measure. But after Canadian Prime Minister...
