...environment uppermost in their minds. I think that responsible business management is trying to keep the problem of environment uppermost, especially in new developments. The Government should encourage measures to prevent air and water pollution through tax incentives or just by showing how a good environment helps make money. This is something I really believe in. Take a factory that's sitting in greenery. It's clean. Its people are happy. They'll make more money than if it were cluttered up and no one cared...
That series, at least, made ABC a lot of money, and the real cliffhanging question in The Survivors melodrama is whether Robbins has given the network a treat or a treatment. With his two-year guarantee, he has less to lose than the network if the show doesn't survive the second season. No matter what happens, Robbins will continue to be as rich as Krakos...

Paul McCracken, the President's chief economist, rather charitably calls that tense period of waiting and watching "the awkward months."

There are, however, important differences. In both 1966 and 1969, the Federal Reserve Board tried to control the expansion of credit by restricting the money supply. But in 1966, the board moved clumsily, swerving at midyear from monetary expansion at a 6% yearly rate to contraction at a 2% rate. Credit evaporated, investor buying power disappeared, and stocks collapsed. This year the money supply has expanded at a modest annual rate of about 21% - just enough...
