...economic policy, the differences can be much more pronounced than that. This year they loom particularly large because after the election, many crucial decisions will have to be made on tax reform, the fate of wage and price controls, the trade-off between inflation and unemployment. How will the outcome of the election influence these decisions? That question was examined by three members of TIME'S Board of Economists: Walter Heller, who was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson; Beryl Sprinkel, a Republican and senior vice president of Chicago's Harris Trust...

Snow hints that his young people constitute an experimental new model of human nature, expressing "not only the future of desire, but the future of fate." On closer examination, how ever, they turn out to be merely incipient Snow men, i.e., earnest, solemn, long-winded committee members. Once more, then, Snow's plot hinges on the rather academic question: Who casts a deciding vote? The answer comes with a dash of LSD and a mysterious...
