...balance, the board sees the economy remaining in recession until perhaps the summer of 1980. The total slide in the nation's output of goods and services would be anywhere from about 2% to 4%. Inflation will remain locked in double digits for the rest of 1979, but could edge down somewhat next year...
...easy man to know. He refused to discuss his work, except with like-minded people; since he was sure that there was nobody like him in the art world, not one firsthand remark about his methods or aims has survived. In fits of depression, he destroyed part of his output; much of what he did not burn has been lost, and about half of his surviving late work was altered by a "restorer" in the mid-1960s. In almost every way, Bruce wrote and stamped his own ticket to oblivion...
...means more than just new air-blown popcorn poppers or home computer games for a society already overrun with gadgets. America's dismal economic record over the past decade largely reflects the decline of research and new product development.

Yet 85 of Navajo households have no electricity today...
...study also finds that the dam's projected output of 23 megawatts of electricity will be offset by operational costs and rack up an annual $750,000 deficit. And the TVA, which lobbied vehemently for the dam throughout the 1960s and '70s, now admits that the project will not even provide the power for which it was built. But as bulldozers returned to the dam site for a last month of construction before the reservoir is filled, practicality seemed to have lost a last round to politics...
