...result, Finland for the past two years has shown economic growth rates of 7.2% and 5.3% respectively, well above the average for the 24 industrialized countries that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

...Jersey. Both party hopefuls returned the embrace. As Kean said during the campaign: "We have got to do in New Jersey what President Reagan has been doing in Washington." But there was scant evidence that voters in either state saw their contests as a sort of large-scale Gallup sampling.

More shocking is the finding that local television rates next in public trust, at 69%, especially considering how schlocky many local news programs are. Then come newsmagazines at 66%, and newspapers at a mere 57%. Gallup took the poll for Newsweek right after the magazine's corporate sister, the Washington Post, got caught with Janet Cooke's phony dope-addict story. That timing may have skewed the public's attitude toward newspapers. Newspapers deserve...
