Gleam the neighborhood soothsayer sits before his crystal ball in a dark room. He asks for fifty dollars to reveal 1981 forecasts citing double digit inflation and an economic Dunkirk. He mentions Dunkirk and economists as the future unfolds.
A humor column presents a satirical crystal ball of 1980 forecasting tax cuts, rising costs, and social trends. It references Lee Iacocca in a TV ad, Nixon dancing with Mrs. Agnew, Reagan on a rose garden ride, a bordello sit com, and a nudist colony transfer, ending with a banker rate drop and an odd ZIP code tease.
