DENIALS OF TENURE for political reasons are hardly uncommon in most academic communities. Young assistant professors who are self-professed Marxists often find that their efforts to expose students to radical alternatives as well as traditional, pro-capitalist theories result in failure to receive tenure. Usually the political motivation behind tenure denials is masked by objective criteria (e.g., poor teaching performance, insufficient scholarly publication) that are legally acceptable grounds for dismissal. However, at Boston Stage College as case of tenure has arisen where the mask is so thin it fails to hide what can only be termed a flagrant violation...
...widespread use of migratory labor also offers economic advantages to western Europe capitalism. From the point of view of the economy as a whole rather than that of the individual capitalist, employing migrant workers lowers the social cost of reproducing the labor force. It costs between $5,000 and $10,000 to raise a worker to the age of twenty in an underdeveloped country. To produce the same worker in a developed country costs between $20,000 and $30,000. Not only does the country which uses migratory labor save substantial social costs at home, but in effect it also...

...Incentives. Kosygin tried to cushion the disappointing prospects for Russia's consumers by dramatizing the recent recession in the West. "The capitalist world has been in the grip of a grave economic crisis," he declared, "an organic disease of the capitalist system aggravated by the protracted militarization of the economy." This was resoundingly seconded by American Communist Party Boss Gus Hall, who described the economic situation in the U.S. as horribly bleak. Kosygin deftly skirted the chronic shortages plaguing the Soviet consumer. He blamed poor weather for last year's disastrous harvest that resulted in a 76-million...
