Some production certainly will be lost. Even if an industrywide agreement were reached before midnight Monday, at least ten days would be required for a U.M.W. vote to ratify it-and in the mine union "no contract, no work" is a religion. But the economy will not be hurt for a long time, nor will the strikers and the companies be subjected to pressure from major coal users to settle quickly. As of early November, the users' bins were overflowing with 150.1 million tons of coal that had been stockpiled in anticipation of a strike. Electric utilities held...
Poet, demon, prophet, artist-all the labels apply, but none will adhere to William Blake (1757-1827). The wild-eyed precursor of romanticism disdained organized religion and mocked rigid science. He was his own martyr, church and congregation, his own teacher, pupil and school. Blake's art and poetry only seem naive; in fact they are so dense with nuance and implication that each generation must interpret them anew.

Some sent their regrets. Nobel-prizewinning Physicist Luis Alvarez, for example, explained forthrightly that he could not subscribe to the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's exotic mixture of "religion, science, economics and politics."

You name it, he wants to change it--values, mores, political systems, economic organization, religion, democracy, the Constitution. Although Toffler's proposals are extreme. It is refreshing to hear a speaker who is not afraid to get up in front of an audience and to go beyond the parameters of what is commonly perceived as permissable discussion. Toffler not only asserted that a technological revolution was upon us, he advocated helping it along and shedding the shackles of the past, that is, industrial society, as quickly...
...fall CBS News Producer Joe Wershba steered him to Stapleton, who shared Flynt's concern about child abuse. Flynt spent a weekend with Stapleton and her veterinarian husband at their Fayetteville, N.C., home, and the Stapletons visited the Flynts' 23-room mansion in Columbus, where they discussed religion and sexual repression, Stapleton recalls. Flynt abruptly phoned her from San Antonio around midnight Nov. 17. "He was talking 90 miles an hour," she says. "Through the jumbled conversation I knew something real had happened...
