...nation's electrical engineers, transfer out of their field, many because they feel useless or technologically obsolescent. Yet by 1985 the U.S. is expected to suffer from a shortage of more than 100,000 engineers. This gap cannot be closed by increasing the output of engineering schools, which are at their production limit. As Ray Stata, president of Analog Devices, told the M.I.T. symposium, "Our only viable strategy for coping is for industry to increase the productivity, retention and competence of those engineers already engaged in the profession...
According to the agency report, oil production in the Unite States, the North Sea and the USSR will stagnate by the late 1980s and even OPEC output will drop due to "declining reserves in some countries and political decisions in others." At the same time, the energy needs of Third World countries will increase dramatically thanks to economic development, increasing urbanization and industrialization. So a large group will be fighting for a smaller...
Firms whose fortunes are tied to farmers are teetering, from small-town grocery stores to industrial giants such as International Harvester, which expects to lose $1.6 billion this year. Exports have for a decade absorbed more than a quarter of U.S. farm output and most of the surpluses, and thus helped to prop up prices, but the value of exports fell this year (from $43.8 billion to $40.5 billion) for the first time since 1969. Meanwhile, millions of tons of grain-35 million tons of wheat alone-sit unsold in overflowing silos and elevators across the U.S. heartland. Storage space...
...retrospective of some 150 Avery oils and watercolors, organized by Barbara Haskell to open the Whitney Museum's fall season, can show only a fraction of this output. But it is a delectable fragment. It will also provide plenty of fuel for reassessment. Nobody could call Avery a neglected painter, but he did work against neglected painter, but he did work against the grain. In the '30s and '40s his Matissean aesthetic and his refusal to paint "social" subjects, whether of the left, like Ben Shahn, or of the right, like Thomas Hart Benton, made...
...role in the country's economic, political and intellectual life. Palestinians filled important government posts, created the backbone of an efficient civil service and came to dominate banking and commerce. Aided by its more favorable climate, the West Bank contributed up to 85% of Jordan's agricultural output and 48% of its industrial production by the mid-1960s. Thus it was a tremendous loss when Hussein rashly led his army against Israel in the 1967 war and saw the enemy snatch the West Bank and East Jerusalem from his control...
