Schorr, 60, will be paid his full salary (close to $70,000 a year) through 1978, when he will begin receiving a pension. He plans to give speeches (at $3,000 each), lecture next spring at the University of California (Berkeley), and finish a book. Schorr is free to leave the CBS payroll and join another network, but he insists that he is finished with television. Says he: "I have a terrible hunger for direct contact with people, and I want to see those little words in print that I can go back to next day and say, That...

In Britain, the Labor Party's left wing continues to demand the nationalization of shipbuilding, aircraft production and banking-in disregard of the fact...
...rest decades ago, that dividends flow mainly into the pockets of wealthy individuals. Actually, there has been a historic if little heralded shift in the pattern of share ownership. In terms of dollar value, nearly half of all corporate shares these days are owned by institutions such as pension funds, insurance companies, college endowments, even churches. Without even realizing it, millions of Americans rely on corporate strength for their own future security. The assurance of a retirement income, the soundness of an insurance policy, the availability of a college scholarship-all may well depend heavily on the continued profitability...
