...From various studies done by the Federal Reserve Board, Simon estimates that the demand for capital between now and 1985 will amount to more than $4.5 trillion. He anticipates particular demand growth in the field of energy production, with heavy requirements also seen for business efforts to meet government clean air and water and occupational health and safety standards. But if one breaks that mammoth number down into year by year figures, with allowances for inflation and for economic growth between now and 1985, $4.5 trillion is not quite so scary. Even a Simon ally, Federal Reserve Board member Henry...
THERE ARE OTHER ELEMENTS contributing to this collapse. The novella, actually a padded short story, moves quickly because Ellison writes in a clean, brief, violent prose. In A Boy And His Dog, Jones slows down the action, lengthening scenes and drawing out the conclusion with wasted footage. Jones also films the blasted landscapes and ruins of the future listlessly where a Kubrick would exploit the opportunity to examine the new world with camera work...
...many acts of government could be performed better on a local level. Neighborhood leaders, for example, would know better than city hall when to patrol the streets and how to clean them, how to maintain the parks and collect the garbage. The flourishing block associations in the city are a modest revival of local self-government. A portion of the city labor force might be dispatched to work in the neighborhoods. One employee could serve as a captain to coordinate activities for a five-block area and stimulate volunteer work. With a limited power of the purse, communities could choose...
Strict Standards. Action to eliminate or at least reduce environmental pollution has generally been spotty. Enforcement of the federal Clean Air Act, which regulates excessive air pollution, has resulted in some improvement. Installation of pollution-control devices on cars has begun to show some effect in reducing the contaminants in urban air. But despite the tough 1972 amendments to the federal Water Pollution Control Act, a recent study of water supplies in 80 cities showed that most contained contaminants...
...instance the meeting in the Oval Office on June 23, 1972, where Haldeman informs the President that the break-in was engineered by a bunch of people over at CREEP. All Nixon has to do at this point is call Earl Silbert at the prosecutor's office, come completely clean, and his problems are over. Why doesn't he? Is it out of loyalty to John Mitchell? Higgins is content to observe that "if you work hard enough, you can transform any problem into a calamity", and leaves it at that. In another section, Higgins concludes that Nixon's major...
