Budget Director Maurice Stans last week decried the "cult of growth," which would spur federal spending, unbalance the budget, and touch off another burst of inflation. But International Business Machines' Thomas J. Watson Jr. called for new federal taxation, if necessary, to combat Russian expansion (see State of Business...
