...season will include specials like ABC'S series about Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt and David Rabe's Sticks and Bones, one of several dramas CBS and Joseph Papp are planning. If the networks were forced into a rigid formula limiting reruns, they would undoubtedly opt for the cheapest solution, dropping the specials and extending the standard run of series from the present 22-to-24 weeks to the 39 weeks of a decade...
...scheduled to go into service in the West in 1974. Why does China need so many new planes? "The Chinese do not have a very wide network of roads or a vast railway system," says Boeing Vice President Byron Miller, leader of the company's China delegation.

Popular brands of Scotch generally sell for $4 to $5 per quart in Europe, Africa and Asia...

Efficiency questions compose more than one half of the work. The best analysts, though, tend to turn efficiency questions into effectiveness questions. Instead of trying to find the cheapest solution to a client's problem, analysts are beginning to recommend the outlays of larger amounts of time and-or money in order to reach ends determined not by cheapness but by results. Methodology, studying the principles of procedure, and the exploration of different theories--both political and scientific--are possible...
