...MOLLY MAGUIRES goes much farther than any motion picture in a long time in describing America's inner tensions and conflicts. A "period" film, it takes as its subject a dramatic slice of the Irish miners in Pennsylvania. It focuses on the miners at a time when they are compelled to return to work after an unsuccessful six-month strike.

Having put our hand to the plow to curb inflation, we must convince the economic decision-makers that we are not going to turn away. A little difference can make a big difference." More specifically, Romney proposed a 21% slice in all departmental budgets, which would reduce the total to $198.5 billion. He suggested a further economy of $1.2 billion to be achieved by freezing all federal pay raises. As an example, he said, the President and all his senior political appointees should take an immediate 25% salary...
