...years ago, the Argentine post would have been considered a plum, the Canadian one a backwater bore. This time around, however, there were several dozen applicants for Vancouver and none for Buenos Aires. The reasons: Vancouver is safe and relatively cheap; Buenos Aires has sporadic political violence and triple-digit inflation...
...will abate only slowly, if at all. Through the year, the rate is forecast to drop from today's 13.3% to 10.4%. Even if that happens, the 1979-80 period will go into the record books as the first peacetime case of back-to-back years with double-digit inflation...

Kahn argued that inflation will not be brought under control so long as OPEC continues raising the cost of crude and the U.S. remains dependent on foreign oil. As a means of lessening that reliance, he said, the Administration had been considering a 500 per gal. gasoline tax and even...
