...Shanghai, a city that comes to represent for them the most revolutionary aspects of China's experience. In Peking, the revolution has been obscured by the constant discussion of their students, who cannot seek the release of action. At the factory, the Miltons met what they consider a true product of the Cultural Revolution--a young worker who has been elected foreman, who shows little of the deference to foreigners that characterized the older management, but whose capable leadership has made the factory more productive than it ever was before the uncrossable lines between management and worker were broken down...
Baby Boom. Until recently there was a torrent of young Japanese flowing into the work force-the product of the "baby boom" of the late 1940s and early 1950s. But because the yearly birth rate has subsequently dropped by 50%, the bulk of today's labor force is aging rapidly. In 1970, working males in the 45 to 64 age group accounted for 26.8% of the total. By 1980 the same group will form 33.9%. Since the lifetime employment system rewards seniority, labor costs must rise as the proportion of older workers grows-a worrisome prospect in a heavily...
Rural Liberalism. Carter, the product of a family that has farmed the Georgia red dirt for 210 years, the first on his father's side of the family even to finish high school, has deep roots in the Populist tradition. Populism sprang simultaneously from the soil of the Middle West and the South in the early 1890s. The movement started with small farmers rising up against exploitative big-city manufacturers, bankers and railroad owners. In Georgia, Tom Watson, a brilliant lawyer who later became a U.S. Senator, was telling Southern yeomen that they were "the sworn foes of monopoly...
...drive by the evening News to halt its steady loss of readers to the morning Free Press (daily circulation up 22% in ten years to 622,339, only 5,122 behind the News). Last month the News roused its reporters' wrath with an internal memo announcing that the "product" would henceforth stress stories about "Detroit and its horrors that are discussed at suburban cocktail parties." The subscription drive has met with similar hostility. Complained a Newspaper Guild officer: "That's just not our role. The obvious answer to the circulation problem is to put out a better newspaper...
Real gross national product, the nation's total output of goods and services discounted for inflation, grew during the second three months of 1976 at an annual rate of 4.4%-less than half the first quarter's annualized rise of 9.2%. Reason: the first quarter got a lift from a switch by businessmen to restocking inventories they had sold off toward the end of 1975; that was not repeated. But "final sales"-sales of products that do not go into inventories-rose at an annual rate of 4.7%, 1% more than in the first quarter. Orders for durable...
