Much of the problem lies with France's small shopkeepers, farmers and minor manufacturers, whose narrow views have saddled France with one of the most backward and selfish middle classes in Europe. De Gaulle had a plan to reform this outmoded structure. Just as he broke the resistance of France's colonial army to end the Algerian war, he was intent on breaking the power and influence of its dominant bourgeoisie to end the chasm be tween the monied and working classes. The byword of that campaign, one of the countless phrases that passed from De Gaulle...
...increase in leisure time. Many of the vacationers, hunters and skiers who motored up new highways to Windham County decided to buy second homes. They, in turn, attracted developers, who quickly snapped up big parcels of land. So far, subdividers have built 4,216 vacation houses; by 1974 they plan to construct another 5,000. Naturally, land prices and property taxes have soared. In 1967, the owner of a 55-acre wood lot in Guilford paid $24 in annual taxes; today he pays $585. As a result, some residents can no longer afford to live in Windham County, and have...

George Meany and many contractors argue that the "Philadelphia Plan" amounts to a racial-quota system barred by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In response to an inquiry from Arkansas Senator John McClellan, U.S. Comptroller General Elmer Staats recently held that the plan is illegal. The Labor Department, backed by a contrary opinion from Attorney General John Mitchell, is pushing ahead anyway. It expects to extend the plan to federal...
Last week in Williamsburg, Arkansas' Governor Winthrop Rockefeller, who also serves as chairman of the corporation's board of trustees, announced a plan that could have as much impact on the area as anything his father ever instigated. Taking time out from the Southern Governors' Conference, Rockefeller reported that he had made a deal with Beer Baron August A. Busch Jr. to build the largest single private industrial development in Virginia's history. Just outside Williamsburg, the Anheuser-Busch Co., producer of Budweiser and Michelob, will put up a brewery, as well as an industrial park...
