Like Carter, Young is a product of the emerging biracial South. Son of a New Orleans dentist, he graduated from Howard University and Hartford (Conn.) Theological Seminary and was a minister in several Georgia and Alabama Congregational churches. In the 1960s he became a deputy of King, and negotiated desegregation with white authorities in various communities. Elected to Congress in 1972 from an Atlanta district with a white majority, he is the first black Georgia Congressman since Reconstruction. Some fellow blacks in Congress criticize him for not being militant enough, but he prefers compromise to confrontation. Says...
Special Conditions. Sweden's hybrid economy rode out the recent worldwide recession rather well. The Swedish gross national product grew (albeit modestly), and unemployment was minimal (49,000, or 1.2% of the labor force, as of last May).

Bankruptcies have increased, and some of the country's largest companies, including Alusuisse (aluminum) and Société Suisse pour 1'Industrie Horlogère (watches), ended last...
...this rare publishing event leads any reader to expect a wildly experimental act-of-the-imagination, he has read too many commercial novels about uncommercial success, and he will be disappointed. Ordinary People is a quite good but thoroughly conventional novel that reads, in fact, like the old-pro product of an intelligent, thoroughly practiced veteran. Ms. Guest's hardly unorthodox subject is a middle-class American family from the Middle West. Make that upper-middle-class: the Jarretts live in Lake Forest, Ill., and father happens to be a tax lawyer. Mother runs a spick-and-span home...
