...coproducer of the show; he was LIFE'S cinema critic and resident film historian. Unlike some film anthologies, L.G.T.T.M. does not spend all its time gazing in a rearview mirror. "From the beginning," says Schickel, "we set out to accomplish much more than an exercise in nostalgia. Our aim was the same as LIFE'S-to reflect actuality as well as art, to show both the inner and the outer realities." That reflection is caught in every segment of the show: newsreels are continually interspersed with cuts from memorable films. Often, as when World War II melodramas...
GROWTH. Carter would aim for economic growth of 5½% a year, and perhaps more, until unemployment was brought down to the 4½% range. His rather traditionally liberal Democratic view is that reasonably faster economic growth than at present is not likely to generate much more inflation as long as so much of the nation's manpower and machinery is underemployed. In fact, faster growth might well lower inflation in the short run by increasing productivity. Says Jasinowski: "Carter would not accept the slow-is-beautiful, let's-be-satisfied-with-4%-growth view that the President...

...Hour. The union's aim in cutting working days is not to increase leisure time for existing workers but to force the companies to create new jobs (119,000 fewer workers are employed now by the Big Three than in 1973). Otherwise, the U.A.W.'s demands seemed relatively mild. Under the Ford agreement, pay goes up 3% per annum and continues to rise (as it did under the previous contract) with the cost of living; by 1979 an assembler could be making about $8.34 per hour, compared with $6.52 today. Ford will add to the union...
...must hire men to stand on the beach and pose as intruders-in order to crowd out the real ones. Says Maggie: "The time is coming when we'll have to employ our own egg throwers to throw eggs at us, and, my God, of course, miss their aim, when we go to the opera on a gala night." Jewel and art thieves, Communist lawyers, peculating financiers-all descend on Maggie and leave her fortune in tatters...
