...figures that U.S. production, which has increased an average 3% annually for the whole 20th century but rose to 4.5% during the '60s, will continue to grow by 4.5% a year during the '70s. One reason will be an unusually large rise in the labor force, the result of high birth rates in the late 1940s and 1950s. The labor force has been increasing by an average 1.2% a year, but in the 1970s it will jump 1.7% annually. In addition, continued investment in research and new plants should maintain productivity gains at the historic rate...
...passed the word that not only was Northwest attempting to swallow a much larger company, but it had also reported a first-quarter loss of $3.9 million. Recent ads pointed out that Northwest's stock had dropped from $140 in January, to 81¾ last week, with the result that Heineman's generous original package offer for one share of Goodrich was now worth about $10 less.

ORGANIZED labor long ago acquired a stranglehold over the $85 billion construction industry. That power has not only led to an astronomic rise in building wages but has also enabled unions to load the nation's largest industry with archaic and inefficient methods of operation.

The result, called Run, Angel, Run, is, however, something more than fodder for the teeny-bopper drive-in trade. For all that is patently naive and even painful to watch, there are occasional scenes, such as a dinner-table argument and a tense ride with some hobos on a fast freight, that have a kind of tough virtue...
...merry band of junkies, faggots, transvestites and nymphomaniacs disporting themselves in the master's newest effort, Lonesome Cowboys. The idea was a camped-up Romeo and Juliet out West. Unfortunately, things get sort of confused, as they have a way of doing with Andy, and the result is a series of dreary, druggy improvisational harangues by such luminaries as Tom Hompertz, Joe Dallesandro and Viva!, the superest Warhol superstar of them all. Now that Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi have passed on, Viva! stands unrivaled as the screen's foremost purveyor of horror. By the simple expedient...
