...economic story in the late '70s is a big story, if not the big story," says George Taber, who, as TIME'S Washington-based economics correspondent since 1977, may be somewhat partial to the subject. Even before he began work on this week's big story about the "Topsy-Turvy Economy," Taber was hearing frequent complaints that there was no "new Keynes" to explain or solve inflation, declining productivity and the other persistent problems of the decade.

...with Swami Prabhavananda, a Hindu monk Isherwood first befriended in 1939. To be published early next year, the memoir takes care of what Isherwood calls his "sacred side." He is now working on a book about his "profane side"-his years as a Hollywood scriptwriter. Obviously this cameraman is partial to self-portraits...

The partial resumption of oil production (currently about 3.8 million bbl. per day) and new limitations on imports will boost Iran's foreign exchange reserves from $10.3 billion in January to more than $19 billion by year's end. But roughly 35% of the work force is still unemployed, construction is at a standstill, prices of staple foods are spiraling, and most government agencies are paralyzed by inactivity...
