...movie is an adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's visionary fairy tale about a pilot, crash-landed in the Sahara, who confronts his own innocence in the form of a very young man of royalty from a distant planet. The score is by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe-their first collaboration since Camelot in 1960. The music misses the simple, rhapsodic melancholy Saint-Exupéry achieved in his prose, but it excels at capturing the pilot's wistfulness, the Little Prince's spirit and their joy in finding each other...
...device, as the House once voted to do (TIME, Sept. 2, 1974). Safety enthusiasts insist that the bags will save many lives; automakers regard them as unproven and worry about driver lawsuits if a bag fails to inflate during a collision-or inflates when there is no crash. Both agree that the bags will not be widely used unless they are mandatory; if they are offered only as optional equipment, few drivers will pay to have them installed...
...been more the traditional professor. Since 1931 he has taught at the Universities of London, Chicago (from which he retired at the age of 63) and Freiburg and has often lectured in Japan. A student of business cycles and one of the few economists to foresee the 1929 crash, he was cited by the academy for his work on the relative efficiency of different types of economic systems.

In his 1944 international bestseller, The Road to Serfdom, Von Hayek warned that centralized planning, however idealistic, inexorably leads...

Last month, however, Botswana's President Sir Seretse Khama announced that he Intended to take over the rail line, and he might well close it to Rhodesian traffic. Thanks to a crash construction program, a direct rail link to South Africa was recently opened, but this new single-track line cannot possibly handle all the nation's exports. Moreover, it feeds into South Africa's already overcrowded rail system and ports...
...question what we can convert these 4 billion filming stations into in years to come" (1928). The spirit behind the Rogers reincarnation is Bryan Sterling, 52, a Vienna-born freelance writer who settled in the U.S. after fleeing the Nazi occupation. Rogers died in a plane crash in 1935. Sterling began hearing Rogers quoted in the late 1950s; he read a biography of the humorist (Our Will by Homer Croy) and was struck by the way Rogers' homespun humor crossed language and cultural barriers. "I thought I was the only one who knew about him," Sterling recalls. "I thought...
