TIME'S economists predict that growth in the gross national product, after adjustment for inflation, will fall from 7.6% in the second quarter to 4% in the last three months of the year. In 1985 growth is expected to remain at a healthy 3.5% pace. As the economy slows, upward pressure on interest rates should ease considerably. The TIME board forecasts that the prime rate will rise no more than a percentage point, to 14%, between...
...will comment on several issues of varying degrees of difficulty. In doing so, I will not pretend to answer all the questions and problems that could arise involving free speech.

Instead, I have tried to choose a sample of questions growing out of the recent incidents at Harvard and other campuses in the hope of clearing up some of the confusion that can arise over the application...
...debate of an emotional intensity that neither side had anticipated, and it worried both candidates, since neither could predict its ultimate political impact.

...copies of medicines already being sold. Under the new law, firms need only show that their generic pills are the chemical equivalents of brand-name drugs and deliver the same amount of medicine with the same speed into the bloodstream. Because of this change in the rules, industry experts predict that within a year or two, generic copies of perhaps 150 leading brand-name drugs will appear. They include Valium, a tranquilizer, Diabinese, a pill to control diabetes, and Motrin, a medicine for arthritis. Hemant Shah, a drug-industry specialist with Mabon, Nugent, a Wall Street investment firm, estimates that...
