...world all by themselves. One factor that unites the generations is a profound conviction-to some, perhaps, a substitute for religious faith-that their nation will survive, no matter what. Survival is the Jewish sacrament. Even the secular-minded are compelled to regard Jewish survival through millenniums of repeated exodus and holocaust as one of history's miracles. Israel is that miracle's latest and perhaps most remarkable incarnation...
...exodus of the individual investor has caused trading volume to shrivel to levels at which few brokers can make any money. Turnover on the New York Stock Exchange must run between 12 million and 17 million shares daily for most brokerages to break even; on two of the five trading days last week it slipped below the bottom end of that range. In the first two months of the year, the brokerage business as a whole suffered a loss of $51 million, v. a $250 million profit in the same period of 1972. Such big houses as Loeb, Rhoades...
...describe the formation under the Crown's benevolent authority of the Confederation of North America with Burgoyne as first viceroy. Hamilton, Madison, Nathanael Green and the other irreconcilable dissidents lead thousands of former rebels on what was to be remembered as the Wilderness Walk.

There follows, naturally enough, Jefferson's stormy transformation into the C.N.A.'s troublesome rival, the United States of Mexico...
Some 4,000 Asian businesses are now in black hands, and the hardest-working people in Kampala seem to be sign painters replacing the names of Asian shopkeepers with those of Africans. As a result of the Asian exodus last year, the town has been left without a single locksmith, and some of the new shopkeepers have had to dynamite office safes to get at records. Many of the new proprietors still do not know how to reorder goods. And new orders will not be shipped by suppliers without cash in hand, but Uganda's import laws specify cash...
...Budget. In a somber December message to employees-the second such Yuletide memo in two years-Sulzberger outlined the paper's major problems. The exodus of middle-class families to the suburbs continues to demand an expensive transition from newsstand to home-delivery service. In town, the number of newsstands has dropped, from 10,632 ten years ago to 8,052 today. If the Times is to reach an ever more widely scattered readership, satellite printing plants must eventually be established. Competition from expanding suburban papers has also hurt. Newsday on Long Island, for instance, recently entered the Sunday...
