Greenspan seeks soft landing amid growth and slowdowns
The piece argues Greenspan aims for a soft landing as US growth cools under 2.7 percent. It notes March–April employment dips, weak housing, slipping auto sales, and high bond yields easing, with economists predicting a growth-trend recession possibly in late 1996 or early 1997. The sentiment contrasts optimism on Wall Street with caution about a genuine economic soft landing.

Washington DC welfare state under GOP overhaul plans
A Washington DC audience at the convention center saw Republicans like Gingrich Kemp and Gramm push a plan to dismantle the city’s welfare state with privatization and tax cuts. Marion Barry attended, defiant in an African suit, while GOP leaders outlined reforms across housing education and welfare. The piece notes DC’s high costs and crime yet lagging student performance, framing Barry as a counterbalance to Republican urban policy.
