WHAT NEXT?
We]], wel), it looks like the
chain-letter crazc has gone the
way of the flag-pole sitters, dancing
marathons, yoyos, putt-putt courses,
jig-saw puzztes and codes.
We never know where the country
will break out next or with what, but
somewhere another silly scheme is al-
ways hatching—even in Congress.
Crazes sweep the country. Some
are toys to keep us out of mischief,
others iie deep inthe social structure
to disturb us, but they a)l pass.
And perhaps crazes serve a pur-
pose. What would it be worth, for
instance, if Congress would layoff
playing politicat poker, and penny-
ante with the people's money for a
while, and take up some less dan-
gerous fad to amuse themselves, and
quiet the fears of their constituents?
