...less and less moot. What will Paul McCartney be doing at 50? Touring the Catskills with Wings, maybe making guest appearances at Grossinger's. How will the generation of rockers that entered the field in the mid-sixties meet the twentieth anniversary of their debuts? Nature has solved the problem for many of them in a swift and clean way, of course, but for those who remain alive, existential crises are on the way. If these albums any indication, it will be a long, painfully extended death-rattle for rock and roll, as some artists clutch their ebbing money-making...
...Energy Project earlier this month released its report on America's energy options: a collection of eight persuasive, crisply written essays entitled Energy Future. The project, which has been studying energy problems since 1972, says it is impossible to wriggle out of OPEC's grip in the short term by depending on conventional domestic energy sources--oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear. The Harvard group is not the first to say we must look elsewhere.

Taken together with the problem of the capital market, all these questions must be looked into carefully, because a curious thing is happening: at times of crisis, Mexicans take their money out of Mexico and put it into the U.S.; the U.S. accepts this Mexican capital but does not accept the Mexican worker. This is a problem that...
