...Meadows team offers a possible cure for man's dilemma-an all-out effort to end exponential growth, starting by 1975. Population should be stabilized by equalizing the birth and death rates. To halt industrial growth, investment in new, nonpolluting plants must not exceed the retirement of old facilities. A series of fundamental shifts in behavioral patterns must take place. Instead of yearning for material goods, people must learn to prefer services, like education or recreation. All possible resources must be recycled, including the composting of organic garbage. Products like automobiles and TV sets must be designed to last...
...reason is that the Government reviews price increases-as well as wage hikes-by large groups of products (or workers) rather than by individual units. Thus, just as some employees may receive pay increases that exceed the 5.5% wage guideline, the prices of some items in a store may go up more than the 2.5% price guideline-so long as "aggregate" or total increases among groups of products (or employees) do not violate the guidelines...
Statistics on this year's minority applications to Harvard and Radcliffe are presently unknown. David L. Evans, a black assistant director of Admissions at Harvard, said that the precise figures will be known "about the middle of February," although he believes the number will exceed last year's figure...
AUTO SALES should almost equal and perhaps exceed last year. Detroit's estimates span from 10 million sales forecast by American Motors Chairman Roy Chapin to as many as 11 million foreseen by retiring General Motors Chairman James Roche. Car manufacturers agree that sales of imported cars will be held to last year's 1.5 million, ending a nine-year rise. Reason: although imported cars will also benefit from the removal of the excise tax, the currency shifts will result in the prices of U.S.-made small cars being closely competitive. If total sales do in fact rise...
...harder still because of their great volume. Time Inc., as the nation's largest magazine publisher (TIME, LIFE, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, FORTUNE), would suffer the biggest second-class boost of all-from $15.4 million to $42.4 million, based on 1970 circulation levels. That increase of $27 million substantially exceeds what the magazines earned last year; it amounts to approximately two-thirds of the corporation's estimated pretax profit for all activities in 1971. Newsweek's postage would nearly double in five years under the original rate request and considerably exceed its 1970 profit...
