...solution: bussing slumdwellers out of the central city so that they can shop in a farmers' market. A more practical answer is the cooperative. Manhattan's Morningside Heights Consumer Cooperative, a clean, friendly store on the fringes of Harlem, not only offers prices as low or lower than commercial outlets but also gives a 4.3% rebate on each customer's annual purchases. So successful has Morningside been that another coop, in the very heart of Harlem, is planned for next year...
...literary lights who contended that the book was a near masterpiece that denounced the gutter by wallowing in it. Critic Frank Kermode, former co-editor of Encounter, argued that he "was horrified by it, but impressed by its novelty, originality and moral power. Dealing as it does with the lower depths of a great city, it is very much in the tradition of Dickens."

Nude Ritual. On his own, Gernreich has prospered. The medium-high-priced ($90 to $500) clothes that he puts out under his own label gross close to $1,000,000 a year.

Wage rates are now rising faster than production and prices are climbing, despite a 41% rise in unemployment (to 212,800) over the past twelve months. Among the Six, only Italy enjoys a vigorously expanding economy, with prospects for a 6% growth this year amid stable wages...
This, of course, is not the first book to explore the camps or dig into the new subcellars that were constructed under the Lower Depths. It occupies a place on the same shelf as Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon, Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago, Victor Serge's The Case of Comrade Tulayev, Alexander Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, and Lydia Chukovskaya's The Deserted House, another homefront view of the purges recently published in the U.S. But since Mrs. Ginzburg's book is a work of nonfiction, an intensely...
