Hurt by voter discontent over unemployment, the world's highest income taxes and soaring inflation, the government bloc, which includes a smattering of Communist supporters, emerged from a national election with exactly the same number of seats-175-as the three-party, nonsocialist opposition. First reports had indicated that the Social Democrats would squeak through with a bare two-vote majority...
After 41 years in power, Palme's Social Democrats−who, together with a scattering of Communists, have held a ten-seat majority in Parliament since 1970−faced their strongest opposition ever. It consisted of a nonsocialist coalition of the Center, Liberal and Moderate (conservative) parties, led by a ruggedly handsome farmer named Thorbjorn Falldin, 47. If he won a second three-year term as Prime Minister, Palme promised to embark on an intensified campaign to increase the scope of socialism. Falldin promised to halt that trend and to restore a measure of individual initiative to Sweden...
Within four days, the gist of the report was in the papers, and rumors soon followed that the Prime Minister himself was responsible for the leak.

Today a Socialist abstract painting is not a target of automatic denunciation. Such Western authors as F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Updike are now being published in Russian...
Prescriptions & Persuasion. The economists speak with authority in Europe, where even nonsocialist governments believe in more planning than the U.S. does. France is in the midst of its fourth postwar economic plan. Though President de Gaulle has little taste for economics, he has given Pierre Massé, the commissioner of Le Plan, free rein to develop the planning machinery, which holds out rewards of tax credits and easy loans for companies that produce what the government suggests. Not long ago, the Common Market paid Massé the compliment of setting up a similar body to plan...
