...inevitable lowering of our living standard can be offset only in a growing economy. Growth can be achieved through a massive capital-investment program to expand industrial capacity and productivity. This requires a major improvement in corporate cash flow through higher prices and profits, as well as vastly more liberal depreciation measures. Growth can also result from major changes in consumption patterns to reduce our intake of imported raw materials and energy. This necessitates drastic action-for example, a $1-per-gal. gasoline...

...brooding novel of wartime Poland is of an actual life agonizingly remembered, not of events and characters cut and fitted to the pattern of a story. Although the obliteration of Polish Jews is the horrifying central fact of the book, the central mystery is that of memory and the flow of time. If Anya Savikin, the heroine, had lived in a peaceful age, her memories in middle years would not have been so filled with blood and broken buildings. But her slow sifting of them would probably stir the same feelings of bewilderment and loss...
