Platitudes Won't Cut It In This Campaign Year
Washington readers are warned that mere platitudes on education trade and deficits will not decide this election. The piece contrasts candidates on tax, defense, monetary policy, and sacrifice, highlighting Babbitt on a sales tax and Gephardt’s controversial stance. It argues voters should demand specifics as 1987 economic volatility and deficits shape the race.

Government urged to aid first time home buyers in rising market
A survey by the U S League of Savings Institutions finds government aid favors older affluent buyers while down payments block many first timers. Median home prices rose from 44 000 in 1977 to 95 000 in 1987, while monthly housing costs climbed from 400 to 822 dollars. The report notes buyers are aging and less likely to be married, with income rising to 46 000.
