Assessing the ups and downs of a pulsating global economy requires both an eye for detail and an ability to identify broad emerging trends. To meet this challenge, TIME last week for the first time convened all three of its Boards of Economists -- from the U.S., Europe and the Pacific -- with a pair of distinguished guests: former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Arnaldo T. Musich, chairman of the Foundation for Latin American Economic Research. The 21 experts met with our editors in one freewheeling two-day session in New York City. Their discussions contributed heavily to this week...
Seductive and streamlined, painted with a pastel palette of flamingo pinks, pale yellows and cool blues, the tropical art deco buildings of Miami Beach delight the eye and invite the viewer to contemplate a jazzier age, a futuristic past. For years, preservationists fought developers who thought it necessary to demolish the city's past in order to define its future. A step toward protecting those confectionary creations was taken on July 9, when the city commission created two historic districts encompassing the greatest concentration of art deco buildings along the south beach section, a once glitzy tourist mecca that...

Like dreamy children, the swimmers Gaines and Steve Lundquist, the basketball player Ann Meyers, the triple jumper Willie Banks, among others, spoke in favor of peace at an extraordinary press conference whose subjects ranged from a reunion of the Apollo-Soyuz spacemen...
...seeing that remain central to Berger's imaginings. His eye ranges widely, from Rembrandt to Modigliani to an obscure Russian named Pirosmanishvili, who wandered from tavern to tavern a century ago painting pictures of food as inn signs. Berger begins one brilliant essay by describing how peasants in the Haute-Savoie spend winter evenings carving white wooden birds to hang in their kitchens. This leads him to analyze why the wooden birds are works of art, which leads him to wonder why certain things in nature are beautiful...
