...work had come to a standstill, real estate prices had fallen, all credit had been stopped. There was a rush to buy foreign exchange. Since September, an estimated $3 billion in bank deposits has been transferred by wealthy Iranians to accounts abroad. Rumors that the government will limit the flow of money?a move that it probably should have taken months ago?only served to spur the panic flight of capital, which last week was said to be running at the rate of $50 million a day. Meanwhile, inflation, already one of the major sources of discontent, is expected...

...developing nations of the Third World that claim to be the victims of biased and inadequate news coverage. And this time one of the accused is Cooper's own A.P., along with other Western-based news agencies that keep reporters abroad.

The adrenaline is just beginning to flow now, just beginning to lift us. We look at the altimeters on our wrists or chest bands the way commuters look at their watches while waiting for a bus. As the needle climbs, the adrenaline begins to flow faster. We fuss with our equipment, checking again the closures on jumpsuits...

...more intriguing reason. During the third quarter, the U.S. managed a jump in nonfarm productivity of 3.7% at an annual rate, compared with a first-quarter decline. The increase was startling because productivity has slipped badly in the U.S. since the mid-1960s, partly as a result of the flow of less skilled people into the labor force and the proliferation of costly government regulations. For the past five years America's rate-of-productivity growth has been below 1%, vs. Japan's 5.5% and West Germany...
