...that is routine in the West. If the U.S. expects to stay abreast of developments in these vast areas of the globe, it needs a sophisticated and sensitive intelligence apparatus. Says a former deputy director of the CIA: "Totalitarian countries can use naked power; an open society has to depend on its wits." On top of the normal tensions of national rivalry, there is now the added danger of international terrorism. The U.S. has escaped serious incidents so far, but it needs intelligence to help protect its allies from this latest scourge of political fanaticism...
...consistent, coherent economic strategy. That mood of mistrust is dangerous, not just to Carter but to the nation. As the White House now clearly recognizes, consumer spending has done about all it can to prolong the U.S. economic expansion; continued growth in the next two or three years will depend largely on business spending for new factories, new machines and, ultimately, new jobs...
...buying up unwanted greenbacks to prop their price, but dipped a bit again at week's end, apparently because Carter's State of the Union speech failed to convince foreign moneymen that the Administration has a handle on the economy's problems.

Congressional passage of an energy bill?almost any energy bill ?would help by demonstrating American determination to cut oil imports, the biggest contributor to the deficit. A dollar...
What fencers do not know or, at least, ignore, is that director's maintain that premature assumptions cost rather than gain duelers points. Directors depend on their ability to re-create what has happened as an image in their brain. And, as local directors Gabor Demjen and Israel Colon explain, when their attention is distracted by a fencer or someone on the sideline, their re-creation can be confused and they are forced to rule no touch...
Another factor favoring stability is that aerospace companies are becoming diversified, which means that proportionately less of their profits depend on sales of machines that fly. North American Aviation, which was hurt badly in 1963 by the cancellation of the B70 bomber, has been born again as Pittsburgh-based Rockwell International; its 1977 sales of $5.9 billion (and earnings of $144 million) include pocket calculators and Admiral television sets as well as the space shuttle. Northrop owns the George A. Fuller Co. of New York City, a large general contractor that also maintains airplanes. Planemakers are attempting to avoid concentrations...
