Trivia: Can you find the artist 's inscription in the front cover sketch? H. P.

  • The Invisible Primary and the 1996 Presidential Nomination
    The Invisible Primary and the 1996 Presidential Nomination Thomas R. Marshall, University of Texas at Arlington The 1996 presidential nominations process will not begin with the first state primaries and caucuses. By January 1996 the candidates had already spent millions of dollars and thousands of days campaigning during the "in­ visible primary." The 1996 nominations race features several new prac­ tices—such as the front-loading of delegate-selection events, and the re- emergence of Washington insiders as the early GOP leaders. For the first time since 1964 the Democrat Party did not face a spirited nominations race. This article reviews the prenomination season for the 1996 presidential race with evidence available by early January 1996. Public Opinion Public opinion remained relatively stable during the 1995 "invisible primary," just as it typically has in recent presidential contests.1 Heavy spending in key primary and caucus states, debates among the candidates, and the entry and exit of candidates all failed to move public opinion polls during 1995. In the absence of saturation media coverage and media labeling of "winners" and "losers" in the early caucuses and primaries, few dramatic poll shifts appeared. The Republicans Throughout 1995, the Gallup Poll reported only slight changes in the first-choice preferences of self-identified Republicans and independents leaning Republicans. Between April 1995 and January 1996, front-runner Bob Dole’s support varied only from a low of 45 percent to a high of 51 percent. Support for Senator Phil Gramm varied only from a low of seven percent to a high of 13 percent.

  • THE BIGGEST CON How the Government Is Fleecing You
    On October 8, 1974, before a joint session of the Congress, President Ford call- ed "inflation, our public enemy No. 1." Schiffs thesis is that since it's the Federal government that causes that inflation, it's the Federal government that is, in reality, "public enemy No. 1" — and blistering chapters add to this in- dictment. With irrefutable evidence and driving logic, he accuses the Federal government of converting the American economy to national socialism and turning American workers into Federal peons. With facts and figures he shows how, when, and why the Federal government: • Causes inflation • Steals more from the public in a week than the Mafia does in a year • Declared official bankruptcy three times since 1970 • Created the energy crisis • Legislates unemployment, poverty and crime • Fraudulently conceals the nation's $8 trillion public debt • Unconstitutionally enforces a fraudulently acquired power to tax income, and • Why Social Security is a gigantic fraud from which taxpayers can now legally "drop out" • Why the Federal government is nothing but a profit making* business monopoly, and • Why he has paid no.income taxes since 1973. * For those who run it.
