Keenan speaks with trepidation about a piece of federal legislation now under consideration which he says could have a "disastrous impact" on the already none-too-optimistic job picture if it is passed. Congress is now considering outlawing mandatory retirement as a form of age discrimination. Keenan cites studies which show that such a move could eliminate as much as 80 per cent of the projected academic job openings during the 1980s. ("Professors are obscenely longlived." Keenan says.) With the law in effect, as few as 600 academic appointments per year may be available nationwide at that time. That...
...attacking Marxism as an evil, obsolete ideology that leads inevitably to totalitarianism. The "New Philosophers," as they are known, have become overnight celebrities-featured on magazine covers and on TV talk shows. The New Philosophers have no wide popular following and are unlikely to have much impact on next March's elections, when France's Socialist-Communist coalition hopes to win power.

But bargain plans will almost always have a "modestly negative" impact on earnings, insists Theodore Shen, airline analyst at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. So why are the airlines slashing fares...
...easy to win. The Carter Administration has been tightening procedures in an effort to eliminate many of the objections that have led environmentalists to oppose offshore drilling. Before the Interior Department will issue commercial drilling permits, it requires all companies that discover offshore oil to file a special environmental-impact statement covering matters like how the oil will be landed ashore. Also, Interior has created a 60-day review period after it announces a decision to offer offshore leases, in order to give states time to judge the impact on their shorelines and forward any objections. Congress is expected...
...state is trying to measure TV's impact on these cultures. So far, the Eskimos and Indians are reacting like everybody else; they enjoy the same shows as the rest of the U.S.: The Bionic Woman, Hawaii Five-0, Charlie's Angels. Their least favorite program is a report on the legislature called Capital 77. Another disturbing sign: attendance at town council and school board meetings has fallen off dramatically...
