...Angeles Correspondent James Willwerth, who covered the activities of the Muppets on the West Coast, had the pleasantly eerie sensation that he had wandered into a different world, a kind of Disneyland as imagined by Mad magazine. "Everyone needs a dose of cartoon fun at regular intervals," says Willwerth, "but cartoons without subtlety can be pretty flat, and the Muppets have something extra that leapfrogs- forgive the pun-over the virtues of human acting...
Many commentators, all too many, have followed the lead of New Journalist Tom Wolfe and accepted the '70s as the "me decade."

Ware, associate professor of Chemistry and Veronica Vaida, assistant professor of Chemistry, rightly point out that the high-dose NCI animal study does not conclusively prove that low levels of EDB can cause cancer in humans.

This debate is far from resolved, and many scientists feel that the discovery of potent cancer-causing ability in animals must be taken as strong presumptive evidence for a human cancer threat. That's the reason why NCI did its animal study in the first...
...member of TIME'S Board of Economists: "We've now taken the painful medicine that will both slow down inflation and the economy. The alternative was a more serious downturn after a more serious inflation in 1980. The longer you postpone the distasteful medicine, the bigger the dose you have to take...
