...your "Ten Ways to Cut Inflation," you fail to mention the most effective way to deal with the problem. Inflation, the result of too much money relative to the amount of goods produced, can be curtailed by a reduction in the rate of growth of the money supply.

It is the only meaningful way of reducing inflation consistent with the goals of adequate economic growth and full employment...
...election at week's end proved without question.

That is in effect, if not in fact, what Arledge will be doing to Reasoner by removing him from the Evening News and giving him no other on-air assignment, though Reasoner's $500,000-a-year contract does not expire until 1980.

With MLS, arriving aircraft can enter from several directions at different speeds, flying various curved approaches toward separate electronic "gates." MLS will...
There's a marvelously funny scene in this cheerful Brazilian comedy-based on a novel by Jorge Amado-that depends for its effect on two social elements that would seldom be found together in a Hollywood or even European movie. One is enough permissiveness to allow the filming of nude actors going vigorously through the motions of sexual intercourse. The other that there is enough strictness and propriety so that the niceties of marital faithfulness and the awful pratfall of cuckoldry matter a great deal...
