Budget in Reverse Drives City Budget Sense in Danville
The article argues that under Virginia law the City Manager proposes a balanced budget while City Council must decide funding levels. It criticizes deficit financing amid a national recession with unemployment over ten percent, noting government employment rose while private gains lag. Council members with business backgrounds should trim spending to match revenue, not tax citizens to cover deficits.

Japanese mother scales Mount Everest triumph for women
Junko Tabei, a 35 year old Japanese mother from Saitama, led a 15 woman team to the summit of Everest, the world’s highest peak. The climb, aided by a Nepalese guide, follows 22 prior male ascents and may bolster feminist arguments that women can match or surpass men in demanding feats.

Itsy Bitsy Agency for Consumer Advocacy Debate
James Kilpatrick scales a proposed federal Consumer Advocacy Agency as an itsy bitsy baby not ready for growth. Ribicoff touts a $15 million first year, rising to $25 million, with wide powers to gather data, issue interrogatories, and adjudicate interests, while Taft questions who is the consumer and what is their true interest in varied government actions. Democratic liberals back the measure, Ford could veto to curb bureau cracy growth.
