...have backfired. When new schools were built, there were not enough competent Libyan teachers to staff them. The shortage was eased by importing Egyptians, many of whom were aflame with Nasserite notions of Arab unity and socialism. During the brief periods when the curfew was lifted last week, young men in Tripoli swarmed out to cheer the revolution, and schoolgirls built triumphal arches of branches and flowers on scores of streets. Libyan embassies in Damascus, Rome and Athens were seized by young Libyan students and officers studying abroad...
...only one thing counts in love-it is the brief encounter." Added a financier, "The principal quality of a woman is neither beauty nor charm nor intelligence, it is novelty." Equally unexpected is Baroche's revelation that the French lover of fabled expertise is a vanishing breed; many men were simply bored with the foreplay in lovemaking. "I have a horror of the preliminaries of love," one of them confided. "The process of taking off one's clothes becomes a handicap with habit."

The President moved in that direction at week's end by ordering a 75% slash in federal spending on Government office buildings, rivers and harbors and flood-control projects...
...debate mirrors more than the deep differences in economic theory between, say, Friedman and Galbraith. Whatever theories they follow, the economists who are trying to analyze the current state of business from available statistics are something like the legendary three blind men who tried to find out what an elephant was like by feeling its trunk, legs and tail. The Government gathers some statistics in stupefying detail; many critics, for example, consider the myriad crop statistics published by the Agriculture Department to be a quixotic extravagance. On the other hand, some key figures that might disclose how much inflationary pressure...
