Last week Novosibirsk's prestigious Economic-Mathematical Research Laboratory published a detailed study of job opportunities in the Soviet Union today-and found that there are not enough to go around, particularly for new high school graduates entering the employment market.

The grandiose plans never got off the ground, chiefly because of mismanagement and lack of funds. In the meantime, Cuba's sugar crops dwindled to nearly half the old yield, and Castro fell deeper into debt to his Iron Curtain partners...
