They march to English headquarters at Warren House and demand in. When someone says "take it; its yours," they do. Twenty of them take over the hallway as English department chairman Morton W. Bloomfield comes bubbling down the stairs. "I just can't talk to all you together. So let's be reasonable about all this. I'll be glad to meet with a representative committee of you in my office...
...certainly logical to demand that the Russians relinquish or freeze their ABM program if the U.S. does the same. But since no one can be sure when talks will begin or how long it will take to reach agreement, the question remains as to what the U.S. should do now. For the current fiscal year, about $1 billion has been appropriated for Sentinel. The budget request for the year starting July 1 is $1.8 billion. The overall cost of even a thin system, originally pegged at $3.5 billion, is now officially estimated to be more than $5 billion. Some critics...
Salaries are rising because skills are short, and anybody with a specialty-or plain verve and nerve-is greatly in demand. With unemployment down to a 15-year low of 3.3%, and want ads bulging in the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Times, there are more openings for $15,000-a-year engineers and $10,000-a-year computer programmers than the work force can possibly fill. People are hopping from job to job as never before, always searching for-and usually getting -the richer reward. Some jobs, of course, pay conspicuously more than others...
There is little evidence that the disparity between the mark and the franc will end soon. The continuing West German economic surge, which underpins the mark's strength, goes against classic economic theory.

Yet Bonn has managed to keep its economy expanding with little inflation. West German Economics Minister Karl Schiller said in his annual report that the country's production grew by almost 9% in 1968 and should...
Charles de Gaulle has staked his political prestige on maintaining the franc's parity at 20 U.S. cents, but devaluation may be difficult to avoid if, as is likely, French unions demand inflationary wage increases next month. One danger is that De Gaulle, if forced to devalue, might not stop at a reasonable 10% change in parity but insist capriciously on 20% or more. That would give France an enormous trading advantage, and force a competitive devaluation of other currencies. As David Rockefeller, president of the Chase Manhattan Bank, said in London last week, the franc...
