THE WEEK

Aswegoto press, with the New York Democratic primary impending, Gary Hart is reportedly promising that, if elected, he will move the White House to Jerusalem. He thought the U.S. should get out of Central America, but intervene in Northern Ireland, and he said the U.S. should not be the arsenal but the university of the world. In which case, come to think of it, he could win the election.

Last fall Ohio voters turned down two initiatives that would have rolled back tax increases. This proved, said some pundits, that the tax revolt was dead as a national issue, even if it survived in a few states like Michigan. Now it turns out that the Ohio initiatives perished not of natural causes but through foul play. A poll taken just after the election found that as many as 21 per cent of the “no” voters thought they were voting against taxes. (The union/liberal/public-employee coalition had confused voters with the advertising slogan, “Vote against Unfair Taxes—Vote no on Issues 2 and 3.”). The poll found that if everyone had voted for the side he thought he was voting for, the tax cut would have passed by a healthy margin.
