Myth and Reality in the U S Economy from Kennedy’s Yale Talk
President Kennedy analyzes myths vs realities in government size and shape, fiscal policy, and confidence. He argues federal growth lags the economy over 15 years, calls for dispassionate study of national needs, and warns against illusion in public discourse. He uses historical spending comparisons to illustrate complex policy balances.

Budget myths and deficits in federal policy discussion
The speaker warns that the federal budget distorts fiscal reality and misleads on deficits and debt. Surpluses after WWII did not curb inflation, while deficits did not derail growth. Confidence depends on government and private sectors jointly addressing economic realities, not slogans, as debate lags behind rapid social and economic change.

Nixon Listless in California Governor Race After Big Time
Nixon is listless in the California governor race after high profile service in Washington. Close friends say he would rather run for Senate in 1984 against Clair Engle, but party leaders pushed him to prove his vote-getting ability in his home state. The piece notes Birchite tensions inside the GOP, past Eisenhower ties, and the strength of moderates led by Tommy Kuchel.

Youth Employment Bill Faces Hurdles in Congress
President Kennedy backs the Youth Employment Opportunities Act as a 1962 fight in Congress looms. Proposals include a youth conservation corps and an urban public service program for 16 to 21 year olds, with funding and federal matching shaping the battle. House and Senate committees have advanced similar bills, but final passage faces GOP and conservative Democratic opposition and a looming end-of-session deadline.
