This year the surplus will total less than $1 billion, mainly because imports have risen 50% over the past three years, twice as fast as exports. Much of the blame can be laid to U.S. inflation, but not all of it. Farm exports have fallen sharply, largely because Common Market countries have unloaded surplus grain, chickens and other produce abroad at subsidized prices...
...which he has been president for the past 18 months. Chairman Harold Gray, 63, stepped down after only a year and a half as chief executive of the financially troubled airline, and announced that he planned to retire next year.

"You wake up in the morning knowing you're going to have to accept what he tells you to do without question; not with resignation but with confidence." Her confidence may have been bolstered by another...
...that enlightened common sense could solve all problems, is hardly the voice to which we tune our orgiastic electric guitars. Quite the contrary. Emancipated from religious "superstition," living in a world where science is the final arbiter, we have inherited the pragmatist's Utopia that Voltaire more or less prescribed-and thanks just the same, we know all too accurately the price we have paid...
