...meeting and future negotiations and agreements may be bleaker than ever. The Soviets will take the accusations as proof that the U.S. is looking for a pretext to scuttle arms control once and for all, while making the Soviets take the blame. At the same time, Congress and public opinion will be extremely skeptical about the wisdom of continuing to do any business with convicted cheaters...
...economists fear that the U.S. might be headed for, or perhaps is already in, a "growth recession." That is a situation in which production rises too slowly to create jobs for growing numbers of people looking for work. So civilian unemployment, now at 7.4%, goes up too.

The Federal Reserve tried last week to nudge that trend...

Focusing on communities may address the differences in the needs and politics of, for example, a rural homeowner in New Mexico and an executive in a picture-window office of a Boston skyscraper--differences that have impeded national strategies. Public opinion and reaction can be predicted more easily in small communities; so perhaps the Coalition will be able...
