...striving to maintain the momentum, retailers have one important factor working for them: consumer confidence, as measured by the University of Michigan's quarterly surveys, has rebounded from a 28-year low and is now as high as it was before the recession (see chart page 79). That indicates that the public is swinging back into a buying mood. One reason: about 1.4 million more Americans are working now than six months ago. Their paychecks help swell spending directly, and the rise in employment probably eases the fear of layoff and thus boosts buying confidence among people who held...
Sweet Movie has no pretenses at plot, although it does make an attempt to chart the smarmy adventures of a certain Miss World 1984 (played by a lovely Canadian actress called Carole Laure). Future chroniclers of the humiliations inflicted on women in the cinema will find prime source material in Sweet Movie. En route to her exalted madness, Miss World is showered with golden urine from her new husband's gilded member; raped by a muscleman; packed into a valise and shipped to Paris, where she is raped again, this time by one El Macho, and sent out with...

Employment, store sales, industrial production and corporate profits have all turned up; the leading indicators -those statistics that tend to foreshadow future economic trends-have shown an exceptionally strong rise in the past five months (see chart). Yet the figures are breeding no euphoria; instead, many bankers, businessmen and economists see danger signals ahead. Their big worry is that a combination of resurging inflation, tight money, climbing interest rates, and inadequate Government stimulus to the economy will choke off the recovery, possibly as early as the middle...
...Cuts. Those fears were analyzed last week by members of the TIME Board of Economists, who gathered in Manhattan to chart the probable course of the recovery over the next year or so. It was a spirited session marked by unusually sharp arguments between conservatives and liberals, and even some quarrels on specific points between ideological allies. Republicans Murray Weidenbaum and Beryl Sprinkel insisted that the recovery could keep going through 1976 and beyond with no more stimulus than the Ford Administration now plans, which will probably include acceptance of an extension of this year's temporary tax cuts...
