...arbitrator's ruling, said Miller, and he remained afraid that the players' association could be sued by individual members if it signed away that legal right. But many of the players were itchy. Player representatives from the teams reportedly voted 17 to 6 not to reject outright the "take it or leave it" offer. They pointed out that parts of the fine print had not even been filled in yet, but indicated that some compromise might be acceptable. Fifteen minutes after the player representatives adjourned in Tampa, Kuhn issued his order to open the camps...
...DECADES following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia make up one of the most unusual and provocative chapters in American intellectual history. For the first time, hundreds of American intellectuals flirted with the ideas of Marxism, and a good number of them became outright converts; some even joined the Communist Party. Impressed by the imagination and comprehensiveness of Marx's thought, these Americans were probably even more moved by the stunning triumph of Lenin's band of professional revolutionaries in Russia, a country that in many ways seemed least likely of all to lead the march of history...
...service, a quasi-independent corporation that replaced the old politically dominated Post Office Department in 1971, has had money problems ever since it was created. Today, the woes of the service have reached such alarming proportions that postal officials in Washington are privately discussing the possibility of an outright financial collapse in a year and a half.

Not that the FEA says so outright; the report, called The National Energy Outlook, soberly presents computer models of the different options facing the nation between now and 1985. But not one of the seven basic "alternative scenarios" offered would result in total independence from the oil-producing and -exporting countries...
...Professor Bell who does not advocate this solution outright, then has only one alternative: he postulates the creation of a new culture (the old one, he says, has run its dissolute course) which may differentiate between the "sacred" and the "profane." The growth of a culture of restraint, as opposed to one of hedonism, might well avoid the need for an end to the political freedom we have known: social groups would moderate their own economic demands, making political repression superfluous. But the creation of such a culture out of whole cloth--against the traditions created by a more...
