Unlike many of the others, however, the slogan at Novovoronezh, some 300 miles south of Moscow, reflects as much realism as rhetoric. The Soviet Union is by no means ready to beat all of its nuclear swords into plowshares. But it is moving vigorously to put the atom to work...
...power plants and physics laboratories, has not been taken casually. As they see it, the U.S.S.R. has no choice. Though the country's coal reserves are the world's largest, they lie mostly in Siberia. Mining this coal is costly; transporting it thousands of miles to the main cities is difficult; burning it in large amounts will cause environmental problems.

...best-laid plans and cause both interest rates and the money supply to rise. So it is a destructive cycle: people borrow to stay ahead of inflation, and vigorous borrowing feeds inflation. So all economic troubles now come back to inflation-a great evil in itself and the main force that is driving down the dollar and the stock market, forcing up interest rates, frightening consumers and threatening recession. In selling his latest program to combat it, Carter has one potentially powerful asset: the prestige he won by his diplomatic triumph at Camp David. Richard Curtin, director of the University...
