Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers during the Ford and Nixon administrations, told reporters yesterday that the Nordhaus study raises the key question of whether "changing institutions are pushing profits under a basic capitalist level" and he added that profits may be driven down so far that further growth will no longer be possible...
...event Newsweek called "a rare combination of journalism, history, and live teledrama." There was David Frost speaking to millions of Americans coast-to-coast--or rather, his lips were moving, but no sound was coming out. For a moment we froze, remembering the silence that marked the first Carter-Ford debate last fall, and other gaps in other tapes.

Ford and Lincoln cars made by Ford Motor Co. share the same engines, as do Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler cars made by Chrysler Corp. Other automakers have escaped so far the trouble GM has landed in because their advertising has not given consumers quite as strong an impression that each car is sui generis as GM's ads have...
