...special section was produced by TIME's Essay staff under the supervision of Senior Editor John Elson. "The Past Decade: A Romantic Era" was written by Edwin Warner and researched by Raissa Silverman. Gerald Clarke and Harriet Heck were responsible for "The Next Decade: A Search for Goals." In their search for answers about the future, TIME's correspondents around the world interviewed experts in all areas of concern. Watching how our predictions turn out will be enormously exciting. But we believe that reporting on events as they occur will be even more...
...came against a background of continuing racial enmity, worsened by last May's re-election of Mayor Sam Yorty over black Councilman Tom Bradley. At 5:30 a.m. last Monday, two Panther offices and one private home were attacked by 300 Los Angeles policemen armed with arrest warrants, search warrants, shotguns, AR-15 rifles, tear-gas grenades, satchel charges, one helicopter, 6-ft. steel battering rams, a National Guard armored personnel carrier, and a fire department "jet-ax" used to cut through the roof of burning buildings.

The arrest ended a six-year search by federal authorities. But Lafitte-who naturally claims to be descended from his namesake-seemed unwilling to admit that his colorful career was over. "Just when we have everything," he told his wife, "it looks like we'll have to run again." Although Lafitte declined to elaborate, he could be running...
...disillusion with the values of the "older generation"-or perhaps the lack of them. Given little to believe in or rebel against by their liberal parents, the young filled the void with their own lifestyles. The decade's compulsive clichés-"relevant" and "meaningful"-suggested a desperate search for identity...
