The Week

We missed it first time around, but a friend caught it and shipped it to us—that glorious Hymn of Joy sung by SecLab Wirtz in reply to a story published early in November in the Wall Street Journal on the deteriorating morale of federal employees. Wash- ington, far from a Slough of Despond, positively overflows with “the feeling of being, each of us, a little part of the greatest achievement in man’s eternal questioning. We’re proud to work for America— under the leadership of Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey.” Sorta gets ya right here, don’t it? @

The US. per capita yearly tax burden (all levels of government) was $364 in 1950. In 1955 it was $537, in 1960 $709, in 1965 $858. It’s about $1,048 in 1967. @
