...reason is that natural attraction, the mysterious magnetism books exude for all bibliophiles. The scent of all of those mountains of meticulously-piled Samuelson economics texts and Norton English anthologies, analytic studies of the French Revolution and the New Deal, thick tomes of Mann and Dostoevsky, wafts out into the Square and the Yard, drawing to it all possessors of a sensitive nose. I, for one, fondle books almost as tenderly as I do women, and in these hours I wander up and down the Coop's aisles, my fingers get a good workout. The silkiness of untouched pages...
...there any way out of the dilemma? Intimations of immortality still infuse your soul, and the whiff of greatness is almost as strong as the smell of print in Samuelson. But, on the other hand, you're not willing to sacrifice the pleasures necessary if you want to climb the ladder of academic success. There are the movies that you've heard so much about but never seen, the trips to New Hampshire and Vermont, the bars and restaurants of Cambridge and Boston, walks along the river and talks with friends. Are these simple experiences, these fleeting moments of sensual...
Dateline: America isn't just only Kremen's interviews. He throws in a lot of economics--particularly the theories of his hero, Paul Samuelson--and public-opinion poll results in an effort to explain the broader patterns that provoke the answers people give him.

...leftists proclaim allegiance to him. But one key element in his effort to keep the country together is continued economic improvement, or at least stability, which depends in no small measure on foreign investment. Many of the kidnap victims have been foreign businessmen, such as U.S. Exxon Executive Victor Samuelson, 36, who was released last week after 144 days of captivity and after his firm paid $14.2 million hi ransom. Last November a U.S. Ford executive was killed in an apparent kidnap attempt. With such rampant violence seemingly beyond Perón's control, U.S. companies are pulling their...
...People's Revolutionary Army. The $14.2 million payoff earned Exxon the unenviable distinction of having forked over what is probably the highest ransom ever collected by kidnapers. (How much, if any, is covered by insurance [TIME, March 18] is unknown.) The company sought the release of Victor E. Samuelson, 36, a refinery manager who was abducted on Dec. 6. At week's end Samuelson still had not been set free, but the ransom may have saved his life: the kidnapers had earlier notified Exxon that they had sentenced him to death for the "crimes" of multinational corporations...
