...N.I.C.B. figures that U.S. production, which has increased an average 3% annually for the whole 20th century but rose to 4.5% during the '60s, will continue to grow by 4.5% a year during the '70s. One reason will be an unusually large rise in the labor force, the result of high birth rates in the late 1940s and 1950s. The labor force has been increasing by an average 1.2% a year, but in the 1970s it will jump 1.7% annually. In addition, continued investment in research and new plants should maintain productivity gains at the historic rate...
...increase. Where Nixon will get the $270 million to start the program in 1970 is still unknown. One obvious, if possibly simplistic, solution would be to make a radical revision-or excision -of agricultural subsidies. The Government now pays farmers more than $1.8 billion a year not to grow crops. That sum would go far toward easing the chronic hunger pangs of millions of Americans...
...subsequently executed. It has its origins in a sugar-worker protest movement that was formed seven years ago. A leftist activist named Raúl Sendic, who has been underground for years, is thought to be the leader of the Tupamaros. Economic discontent has undoubtedly helped the movement grow. A welfare state that assured its citizens full pay after retirement at the age of 55, Uruguay, once Latin America's richest nation, has seen its economy slide downhill for more than a decade. In 1967 alone, the rate of inflation was 135%, and the government ran short of retirement...
Even so, the growing hooliganism of many protesters threatens to wreck universities in the process. This danger now worries even some New Leftists, not to mention the vast majority of moderate sympathizers, who are more and more weary of having their expensive education constantly disrupted. The fundamental solution, of course, lies far beyond the campus. As Yale's President Kingman Brewster Jr. put it at a press conference last week: "Campus violence will grow worse unless an intense effort is made to end the war in Viet Nam, remove the inequities in the draft, solve problems of the cities...
...remains open to question. It would not be nearly as huge as claimed by those who blame all the nation's ills on Viet Nam. On the over-optimistic premise of a possible ceasefire early this year, Schultze projected a dividend that would grow from $8 billion in 1971 to as much as $40 billion a year in 1974 as the economy continued to expand. During his campaign, President Nixon mentioned a dividend figure of $10 billion...
