Does all this mean that the talent for leadership has abruptly disappeared from the American genes? Absolutely not. The reasons for the current problems of leadership lie deeper. Societies may not always get the leadership they deserve and need, but they get a leadership that reflects the nature of the nation's power and the condition of its followers...
...help lift production from its current level of only about 650 million tons last year to the 1.2 billion-ton 1985 goal that Carter set for the industry in his first energy address two years ago. In the semiarid reaches of the intermountain West, where treasure troves of coal lie almost on the surface just waiting to be scraped up and hauled away, whole new towns would have to be built to house the workers employed at mines and synfuel plants. Residents of the region regard such a boom as a mixed blessing at best...
...however, was not taking the potential danger at all lightly. One of the heaviest pieces of Skylab, a two-ton lead-lined vault used for film storage, is capable of digging a hole 5 ft. wide and 100 ft. deep.

...dance, opera and orchestral groups that had forsaken Boston. Lodge beat out Friedberg, coming up with the $1.75 million to purchase the 40-year lease, and he claims to have 150 nights booked for a season beginning in November 1980. But $3.5 million worth of expansion and renovations lie ahead, and there may be a scramble to get them done in time. Reason: a bitter Friedberg has so far refused to let Lodge's architects into the theater until July 1980, when Sack's lease expires. "For a simple project," says Lodge, "it's been an amazing...
