A NOTE FROM HARRY BROWNE

Most politicians believe in just one thing—winning elections. They'll say anything to get in office and stay there. Today they believe saying "less government" will get them elected, but the last thing they really want is to give up the power that comes from big government.

No matter which party has held the presidency or dominated Congress, no one has delivered on the promise to reduce government. Despite the talk, every year government grows larger and interferes even further in our lives.

I'm not a politician. Like you, I'm sick of seeing government take almost half the national income and then dole it back to us as though we are children on an allowance. I'm tired of politicians using the crime problem as an excuse for seizing property and liberties from innocent citizens. And I'm not fooled by "welfare reform" that doesn't change anything, or by showy "spending cuts" that add up to a bigger government budget.

As a lifelong libertarian, I'm running for president with a simple platform: We can have higher incomes, safer cities, better schools, and a more civil society if we reduce the size of government drastically—rather than just slowing its growth. This book presents a realistic plan for cutting government, and it shows how you can make me keep my promises if elected.

I don't want to be a politician, I just want our country back. I want to fix America once and for all, so I can live in peace and freedom. If you'll help me, we can get back our freedom, our money, and our lives.

HARRY BROWNE is a Libertarian Party candidate for president of the United States. He is the author of numerous financial books, including three *New York Times* best-sellers: *How You Can Profit from the Coming Devaluation, You Can Profit from a Monetary Crisis*, and *New Profits from the Monetary Crisis*. His book *How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World*, published in 1973, is a modern classic. He lives with his wife, Pamela, in Tennessee.

Carter Burden, Progressive Patrician, 54, Dies

By LAWRENCE VAN GELDER

Carter Burden, who epitomized the young patrician partygiver of the early 1960's, who flashed across the political firmament as a progressive New York City Councilman a few years later and who spent his latter years as a publisher, founder of a broadcasting empire and benefactor of the arts, died yesterday at his home on the Upper East Side. He was 54.

His wife, Susan, said he died of a
heart ailment.

Handsome, witty, born to wealth, the pipe-smoking Mr. Burden was a prominent figure in the life of the city for a generation. And while many knew him over the years from society and gossip columns, Mr. Burden was a man of accomplishment.

In business, he founded and expanded Commodore Media, a New York company that owns and operates 20 radio stations in Westchester County, N.Y.; Fairfield and Norwalk, Conn.; Huntington, W.Va.; Sturart, Fla., and Allentown, Pa. He was also the managing partner of William A. M. Burden & Company, a family investment partnership, and a director of the Reliance Insurance Companies.

In philanthropy, he was a major
benefactor of the New York Public

Library, the Morgan Library and the
New York City Ballet, as well as the
Burden Center for the Aging in York-
ville, which he established and
helped finance.

He also supported the National Crime Prevention Council, the Brookdale Center on Aging, Wellesley College and Survivors of Domestic Abuse.

He was a significant collector of drawings, including works by Saragent, Picasso and Matisse. The collection of first editions of 20th-century American authors, like Fitzgerald, Faulkner and Hemingway, that he assembled in the last 17 years was regarded as one of the finest in the world.

As a political figure in the Ken-
ney mold during three terms on the
City Council, he served as chairman
of the committee on health, fought to
protect children from lead-based
paint poisoning, sought to better the
health and housing of the elderly,
advocated the establishment of
standards for prisoners' rights and
introduced one of the first gay rights
bills in the country. Like some of his
other legislation, it did not pass, but
many of his proposals did become
law, in whole or part.

When Mr. Burden, a former legis-
lative assistant to Senator Robert F.

Kennedy, ran for the Council in 1969 in a district that included the affluent Upper East Side as well as East Harlem, The New York Times endorsed him in an editorial, saying: "Despite the attention he gets in the society columns as a partygoer, Carter Burden (Dem.-Lib.) is well informed, seems committed to public service and plans to devote full time to councilmanic duties. His political independence is a quality the Council badly needs."

Mr. Burden's career in public office, which began with his election to the Council in 1969 with 81 percent of the vote, ended in 1978. First he gave up his seat in an unsuccessful effort to win the nomination for President of the City Council. Then he lost to Bella S. Abzug when the State Supreme Court overturned his narrow victory in a Democratic county committee election for nomination to fill the Congressional seat vacated by Edward I. Koch when he was elected Mayor.

In 1969, besides winning election to the City Council, Mr. Burden became the principal owner of The Village Voice, which was then the country's largest weekly newspaper. In 1975, he merged The Voice with the New York Magazine Company and a year later he sold his controlling interest to Rupert Murdoch.

In 1980, after seeing other public ventures, he became interested in radio and founded Commodore Media with a single station.

Shirley Carter Burden Jr. (he
dropped the Shirley and Jr. when he
entered politics) was born in Bever-
ly Hills, Calif., on Aug. 25, 1941.

His father was a great-great-
grandson of the railroad and ship-
ping magnate Cornelius W. Vander-
bilt and a partner in the family in-
vestment-banking firm. His mother
was Flobelle Fairbanks, a niece of
the actor Douglas Fairbanks.

Mr. Burden grew up in a home once owned by Fredric March. He went to a Roman Catholic school and a military academy before he finished his secondary education at the Portsmouth Priory School in Rhode Island.

His first serious girlfriend was
Geraldine Chaplin.

At Harvard, he majored in Eng-
lish, wrote his senior thesis on Henry
Miller, narrowly missed failing
French and nevertheless graduated
cum laude with a bachelor of arts
degree in 1963.

He met his first wife, a Wellesley freshman named Amanda Jay Mortimer, on a blind date. She was the daughter of Stanley Mortimer, a grandson of a founder of Standard Oil, and of Barbara (Babe) Cushing, who divorced Mr. Mortimer and married William S. Paley, the founder of CBS, when Amanda was 3.

The wedding was in 1964. Mr. Bur-
den was 23 and his wife was 20. At a
time of Pop Art and Beautiful Peo-
ple, the Burdens were New York's
leading Fun Couple.

Carter Burden

While Mr. Burden was attending Columbia University Law School studying for the bachelor of laws degree he received in 1966, the couple were giving spectacular parties in their apartment at the Dakota. Among the guests were Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, Norman Mailer, George Plimpton, Larry Rivers, Robert and Ethel Kennedy, Joan and Edward M. Kennedy, and, once, Prince Philip of Britain.

In print, it seemed at times that
the Burdens were everywhere: the
gossip columns, Vogue, Harper's Ba-
zaar and Women's Wear Daily.

But by 1966, they had begun to turn away from frivolity. Mr. Burden, having passed the bar examination, went to work for Robert Kennedy, serving as his liaison with the Puerto Rican community in East Harlem and helping to establish the Bedford-Stuyvesant Development Project.

In spring 1968, when Senator Ken-
ney was assassinated, Mr. Burden
became one of the founders of the
New Democratic Coalition, opposed
to the old Tammany Hall politics of
their party and bent on reform.

Mr. Burden set his sights on a City Council seat and began a Robert Kennedy-style race, campaigning 18 hours a day in shirtsleeves, looking for votes on foot and from the back of a Paris bus borrowed from one of his favorite restaurants, Lutéce.

On Dec. 31, 1969, he was sworn into office. Tradition called for a fee of 11 cents to be paid to the clerk who administered the oath. Mr. Carter reached into his pocket. He took out a dime and a nickel.

"That's all right," he said to the
clerk. "Keep the change."

In 1972, Mr. Burden and Amanda
were divorced. He married Susan
Lombaer in 1977.

In addition to his wife, Mr. Burden is survived by two children from his previous marriage, S. Carter Burden 3d and Flobelle Fairbanks Burden, both of Manhattan; and by his sister, Margaret Childs of Fairfield, Conn., and his stepister, Sylvia Rodman of Manhattan.

J. Moe Newman

Clothing Chain Founder, 87

J. Moe Newman, co-founder of a New York clothing chain that at its peak had some 150 outlets nationwide, died on Jan. 13 at his home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He was 87.

Mr. Newman, who also became a
benefactor of Jewish causes and phi-
lanthropies, joined his brother, Sam-
uel O. Newman, to form Ripley
Clothes in 1936. The company even-
tually combined with Howard
Stores. It dissolved about 15 years
ago when Mr. Newman retired as
president of Ripley and treasurer of
Howard.

He was a supporter of B'nai B'rith,
and he and his brother helped estab-
lish an elementary school in Israel.

Mr. Newman is survived by his
wife of 63 years, Frieda Orenzow
Newman; two daughters, Phyllis
Charash of Woodbury, L.I., and Toni
Sachs of Wantagh, L.I.; two sons,
Herbert, of Syosset, L.I., and Martin,
of Manhattan; a brother, Samuel,
who also lives in Manhattan; a sis-
ter, Rebecca Sassower of Rego Park,
Queens, six grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren.

Dear Mrs Kissinger,

I am compiling a book of the "pearls of wisdom" from the most famous people in the world. This I feel would be very instructive to others and future generations. Having achieved the heights of fame in your field, may I respectfully request your co-operation.

The rough format of the book is envisaged to be on the
following lines:-

a) your best advice on how to succeed in life.

b) your best advice on parenthood.

c) your best advice on inner satisfaction.

Any other hints, tips, quotes, anecdotes etc. would be appreciated. However I will leave that up to you. There would be the minimum of editing if any on the final presentation. All contributors will be acknowledged in the book and a free copy of the book will be sent to you when it is published.

I do hope you will agree to give the project some thought.
Everyone seeks enlightenment, encouragement and answers to
fundamental questions at some time in their lives. Could you be
their inspiration ?

Each contribution need only be about 1000 words. The closing date is by Christmas 1996. The beneficiaries will include the charities for cancer research and lifeboats.
