School officials say they are suffering from a glut, not a lack, of educational programs aimed at crack. "We almost have programs running out of our ears," says Emeral Crosby, principal of Detroit's Pershing High. "We've got churches, youth foundations and charity organizations working with us. Everybody is just pounding the kids all day long." Yet the older drug dealers are winning the war for the hearts and minds of too many children. When impoverished youngsters see $100 bills waved under their noses, it is hard for them to turn away. Says Dr. Robert Millman, director of drug...
...book chances to burn up, there must be thousands more where that came from. If anything, there seem to be entirely too many words and numbers in circulation, too many sinister records of everything crammed into the microchips of FBI, IRS, police departments. Too many books altogether, perhaps. The glut of books subverts a reverence for them. Bookstore tables groan under the piles of remaindered volumes. In the U.S. more than 50,000 new titles are published every year. Forests cry out in despair that they are being scythed so that the works of Jackie Collins might live...
Both Campeau and Macy will now have more muscle to compete in the free-for- all engulfing U.S. retailing. The malling of America in recent years has created a glut of stores, which has been a delight to consumers but a nightmare to the shopkeepers. A study by Sears, Roebuck, the No. 1 U.S. retailer (1987 sales: $28.1 billion), showed that in the past twelve years the amount of store space in regional suburban malls has increased by 95%. During the same period, the population grew by 12.9% and disposable personal income by 40%. Management Horizons, the market-research subsidiary...
...afflicting the comfortable, as the saying goes, they are probably meeting somewhere to honor each other for having done so. By the reckoning of the trade magazine Editor & Publisher, more than 250 journalism prizes now reward every specialty from criticizing art to writing on arthritis. For all the glut of awards, though, the Pulitzer Prize remains the one trophy able to bestow a career-boosting mystique that glows past retirement on a newspaper reporter's resume. Like the Oscar, a Pulitzer is good for business, instantly improving the reputation of a small or medium-size paper or ratifying the status...
Despite the global oil glut, the U.S. could face a long-term domestic shortage. Last week it was disclosed that the U.S. Geological Survey has lowered by 40% its estimates of oil and natural gas that remain to be found in the U.S. The survey, criticized by some experts as too pessimistic, puts undiscovered crude-oil deposits at about 33 billion bbl. That figure does not include undiscovered oil under federal offshore sites, which has been estimated at 12 billion bbl. The undiscovered resources, if taken together with proved U.S. reserves of 27 billion bbl., is only enough to last...
