Pressing Task. That would mean a lowered standard of living for future generations; business would lack the plant capacity either to reach full employment or to fill demand for products without inflation. This does not have to happen, of course; but in order to pump up investment Carter will have to convince businessmen that he can and will hold down inflation now and assure adequate if expensive supplies of energy. It is a pressing task...
...fusion, geothermal and coal-derived fuels-remain just that: visions for the future, with no certainty that such sources will be available when present reserves of oil and gas go into steep decline. And the use of coal and nuclear-fission power is not expanding nearly rapidly enough to fill the looming energy gap. Hence, the U.S. faces the terrible threat of closed factories and cold, dark homes unless its politicians can master a new kind of challenge: taking painful steps now to grapple with a crisis that will not reach its most dangerous point until long after the President...
...classical Christ-on-celluloid comes back full force in Franco Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth, created not for the movies but for television. For sheer spectacle and expense ($18 million), nothing like it, religious or otherwise, has ever been attempted on TV.

He obviously wanted a Democrat, and preferably a liberal one, with some experience health, education or welfare, but he really didn't care who his nominees...
...profession." In the research-oriented professional schools--Divinity, Education, Design and Public Health--he emphasizes the need for more practical training alongside the research, to give graduates definite, marketable skills; and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, he says, must be ready to train its graduates to fill posts outside of the traditional academic sphere. But there is an emphasis on quality throughout, on a clear "sense of mission": Bok is almost asking Harvard to return, in a sense, to being a source of spiritual guidance for the rest of the country (as it was in its early days...
