...ensemble dancers--the corps de ballet--with deft economy of rich imagination. At different times they function both as a choral commentary on the soloists, mirroring the angle of a ballerina's body, and as architecture, a fluid linkage of arches and trelliswork. The Boston Ballet's corps rose to the occasion, offering Fokine's masterpiece with devotion and care...
Leif Olsen, a star economist at Manhattan's Citibank, points out that business borrowing from commercial banks in the first nine months of this year rose at an annual rate of 15.1%, and borrowing by households is also at a record high. Borrowing by Government to finance budget deficits adds to the demand. Alan Greenspan, a member of TIME'S Board of Economists, singles out mortgage credit as "a monster loose in the system," devouring money. People are not only borrowing to build new houses but taking out second mortgages on existing homes to finance spending of various types. During...
...October, wholesale prices for finished goods rose at a disheartening annual rate of 11.4%, indicating, as Carter candidly acknowledged, that inflation will get worse for a while before it improves. The President's advisers aim to bring the inflation rate down at least half a percentage point a year. Given the depth to which inflation has embedded itself in the economy, that goal is probably realistic, but it implies a struggle that may last many years before price increases can be reduced to any pace that could be considered tolerable. During those years, Carter will have to demonstrate...
...that bottle feeding has increased. But to conclude from this that bottle feeding has caused, or even contributed to, this decline in infant mortality is statistical nonsense. Infant mortality rates in New York City declined markedly between 1940 and 1970, while addiction to heroin increased and while divorce rates rose dramatically. But no one would argue that infant deaths were reduced by heroin or divorce. Clearly, infant mortality rates have dropped because of a host of factors such as improved health care, immunizations, higher standards of living...
...farmers rush to gather in a bin-busting harvest, their fortunes have improved. The prices that farmers received averaged 23% higher in September than a year earlier, while the prices they paid for tools, fertilizer and consumer goods?including food?rose only 10%. Most crops have been bountiful enough this year to cause even retail food prices to level off after a frightening winter-spring rise. The Department of Agriculture predicts record 1978 crops of corn, soybeans, hay and fall potatoes. Corn is so abundant that Midwestern farmers are storing it on streets, playgrounds and tennis courts...
