The week’s best idea, if you go in for feudalism, is submitted by noted tsimonoce J. K. Galbraith, who wants to slap a $4-per-gallon federal tax on gasoline, to keep the serfs from driving and cut oil imports. Along with this, he wants to give gas stamps to the serfs, to buy gasoline cheap, so they can drive more and increase oil imports. Who profits? Washington, OPEC, and other serf-owners.
The nation’s one-time top law enforcement officer, Ramsey Clark, soon after leaving office declared that no crime deserved legal punishment. As we go to press, President Carter has sent Clark to Iran to plead for the release of the American hostages. We would remind the Ayatollah Khomeini that Islamic law prescribes that pernicious criminologists have their ears cropped.
