More ominously, black family income in the past decade actually fell relative to that of whites, from 60% of the white level in 1969 to 57% in 1979. One striking reason was that the proportion of white families containing more than one income earner climbed in that period from 53.6% to 55.4%, while the number of black families with more than a single wage earner fell from 57.2% to 46.2%. Black women who head their families had a 5.2% unemployment rate in 1969, but 12.9% were jobless in 1979, and the recession will certainly increase that figure considerably...

(Long since the movie earner of all time, it has now grossed $267 million worldwide.) Why? Apparently because a younger and younger film audience is delighted to see a show it loves not once but four and five times...
Since imports exceed exports this year, maybe it should be stressed that Americans should purchase American-made products to stabilize and enhance the G.N.P. I disapprove of the way that the President is handling the economy, and as a wage earner I am disgruntled to see where the revenue from my taxes is going. Something must be done, too, to curb inflation...
