Okun puts the chance of an approaching downturn at 55% and urges that carrot-and-stick income tax policies be adopted to encourage labor and management to hold down wage and price raises. Unions and companies that settled for low increases would pay reduced taxes, while those that helped aggravate inflation would suffer tax penalties. Such an approach has been used successfully in Britain, where in the past year and a half inflation has plunged from some 20% to about 8%. But with the Administration's entire tax policy tangled up in Congress, Okun admits that his proposal...
Camus is coming back into relevance because of his ethical point of view. The current views on human rights are very much in debt to Camus's approach...
...Egyptian President's reaction to the Israeli vote was publicly mild. "If the peace initiative should fail," he said, "it will not be the end of the world. There will be a new approach." Privately, he has taken comfort from the amount of opposition in Israel to Begin's stand, particularly Weizman's strong reaction.

But what he really hopes is that the U.S. will become what...
Putting the Stanford idea into actual practice, a team of computer scientists at M.I.T. led by Ronald Rivest has devised a novel approach. It involves what mathematicians call prime numbers-numbers (e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ad infinitum) that can be divided evenly only by themselves or by 1. Under the M.I.T. scheme, each public, or encoding, key is based on the product of two large prime numbers-that is, the result of multiplying these numbers by each other. This result may be a figure several hundred digits long. The private, or decoding, key, on the other hand...
...class tragedy that was Berkowitz's first murder, of necessity turns into a fast-paced detective yarn. It seems as if the authors realized that they did not have enough time to delve into the subtle ramifications of each of Berkowitz's crimes, and settled on the Mickey Spillane approach instead. It is a shame; the book could have been much more powerful had the authors decided only to portray one or two of the families that Berkowitz shattered with his big wood-handled .44. That, however, would not have sold so well...
