...from clear what impact raising the retirement age would have on the structure of the labor market and its disenfranchised unemployed. Proponents of the bill claim that it would have minimal impact on the economy because most individuals currently affected by mandatory retirement laws would continue to retire at age 65 anyway. This contention appears dubious and in need of far more statistical confirmation. There is no doubt, however, that one segment of society would continue to work longer if mandatory retirement ages were raised: studies consistently show that those engaged in elite occupations--executives, professors, engineers--choose to work...
POLITICAL circumstances being what they are, it is probably unrealistic to expect that Congressional passage of the new mandatory retirement laws can be avoided. Such a bill could potentially have its most serious impact on the academic job market and higher education. Thus, Harvard must take a firm stand in favor of proposed amendments to the bill that would exempt tenured college faculty from the 70-year minimum mandatory retirement age. University-level academics are among those jobholders who can be expected to continue to work if the unamended bill is approved. And, as Graduate School Dean Edward L. Keenan...

Additionally, armaments production is disproportionately high-skilled. Consequently, while a defense contract can in the short run boost a sagging local economy, in the long run it exacerbates both inflation and unemployment...
...nuclear danger. In Britain and Europe the International Confederation for Peace and Disarmament has consistently worked on this issue. The World Peace Council, too, continues to push for detente and disarmament. These international movements are working closely with non-governmental organizations all over the globe to create maximum impact on the U.N. Special Assembly on Disarmament in May, 1978. There is clearly a growing international sentiment expressing the demand for zero nuclear weapons and a stop in the arms trade...
...themselves. For many months the film's future has been jeopardized by a dispute between its director and Producer Alberto Grimaldi, who could not come to terms over its running time. Bertolucci has now cut 1900 from 5½ hours to four without substantially altering its impact or scope-or for that matter, remedying its built-in weaknesses. Last week, on the eve of the new version's premiere at the New York Film Festival, Paramount Pictures announced that it would distribute the briefer movie nationwide...
