TIME somewhat regretfully denies Buchwald's allegations about its London bureau. But we find ourselves, as we have in many other cases, laughing along with someone who is poking fun at us. For example, in San Francisco last week, Columnist Herb Caen reported overhearing Novelist Herbert Gold describe how the TIME Essay is written. Researchers first dredge up all the quotations on a subject, he explained, "after which they are fed into a computer, and then a senior editor presses the button marked 'Profound...
...retire at year's end. His successor, Henry S. Rowen, 41, an M.I.T.-educated engineer-turned-economist and defense specialist, is a Rand veteran who has spent the past 51 years in Washington-first as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, and currently as Assistant Director of the Bureau of the Budget. His appointment heightens speculation that Rand may focus increasingly on social problems.

A vigorous opponent of the data center, Vance Packard (The Hidden Persuaders), cited a case in which a department store refused to hire a man because his computerized record showed that at the age of 13 he had stolen $2 worth of fishing line. Argued Packard: "The Christian notion...
There was cause for concern. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the swiftest six-month cost-of-living increase since 1958. Capped by a gain of 0.3% for June, the consumer price index climbed 1.7% in the first half of the year to 112.9% of the 1957-59 average. For the twelve months ending in June, the rise was a hefty 21% . Industrial production and personal income also climbed to record levels in June...
