Under the present setup, the Postmaster General has only limited control over his department. Congress sets rates, wages and other regulations, sometimes with devastating results. The 89th Congress adopted a rule governing employees' work schedules that had the unintended effect of adding 45,000 men. Under O'Brien's scheme, Congress would do no more than establish broad guidelines to determine how much of the postal service should be financed by general appropriations and how much by users' fees. After that, the corporation would...
...separate trading zones, the eleven-nation Latin American Free Trade Association and the five-nation Central American Common Market, have sprung up south of the border in recent years. But they are too loosely organized and too small to have much overall effect on the continent's economic growth. Johnson's proposal calls for converting those two organizations into one European-style economic community. It would be run by a strong Brussels-type secretariat whose policy would be to encourage the integration and diversification of the area's industries. One country, for example, would concentrate on producing...
Economic boycotts are by now a familiar, if not quite believable, story to Rhodesia's rebellious whites. The Brit ish declared one against them in 1965 without much noticeable effect, and the United Nations Security Council imposed another one against them four months ago, ditto.

Pearson also reshuffled the Cabinet of his Liberal government for the first time since last year's general elections. The effect was to bring into the foreground bright new men whose influence will be to pull French-speaking Quebec more closely into the English-dominated confederation. To make room, out went Minister of Justice Lucien Cardin, 48, and Privy Councilor Guy Favreau, 49, who are both ailing and wanted to quit. Into the largely ceremonial privy-council post, where he can continue his study of the Canadian economy, moved former Finance Minister Walter...
Gill wasn't ruffled by the sight of a pair of students telling him in print how the course should be run. And though he found the eight pages full of faulty economics, he wasn't worried about the effect of these errors. What bothered him was what he considered the narrowness of the critique's "new left" view of economics. The public "dialogue" its authors insistently demanded was just what Gill wanted to avoid. This is Gill's final year as head of the course and he understandably does not want to leave it in a blaze of artificial...
