Review. U Thant's lead story reads uncannily like the Cousins editorial: both deal in leaden tones with what they proclaim as the new global brotherhood of man. The former U.N. Secretary-General goes on to note that there is no alternative to-guess what...
...official meetings with Communist leaders. Mrs. Meir, who celebrated her 74th birthday last week, had begun the trip in an exuberant mood, fending off newsmen's questions about the prospects for her visit with a Jewish proverb: "The power of prophecy is given to children and fools." Under leaden Bucharest skies, she reviewed a goose-stepping honor guard.

Investors figure that if the economy continues to lag and drag, the Administration will have to reduce taxes (see page 82). Sifted through this kind of faith, even leaden news is transformed into gold. Investors even took an optimistic view of last week's report that the industrial production index declined from 165.4 in January to 164.8 in February. They reasoned that this would forestall any change in the Federal Reserve Board's moderately expansive money policy...
