...been nearly a year since the Ripper last struck. Nine of his ten previous targets were prostitutes working the red-light districts of such grimy North England industrial towns as Leeds, Huddersfield and Bradford. The murder of Josephine Whitaker, an entirely respectable clerk, set off fears that the unknown killer might attack any woman in "a triangle of terror" in West Yorkshire and Lancashire. "The whores in the red-light area of Leeds are so jumpy that some gulp tranquilizers before going out to work," reports TIME Correspondent Art White after a visit to Yorkshire last week. "Some are carrying...
Isaacs had a few ideas about how to save the Star, but he did not want to impose them arbitrarily and risk alienating the wary staff. So he borrowed from a successful participatory management scheme introduced in 1972 at a car-mirror plant in Bolivar, Tenn. Isaacs set up eight committees (there are now eleven) composed of newsroom volunteers and usually a management representative. The committees suggested ways to improve the Star's design, writing, editorials, special sections and allocations of manpower, space and money. A strategy committee considered the paper's overall position in the market. Says...

The Government would use much of the tax revenues to help industry...

Mandatory standards must be set for the heating and cooling of commercial buildings; we ought to regulate outdoor advertising; and we should enforce the 55 m.p.h. speed limit much more aggressively...
SAFER: We must stop allowing some oil companies to deduct from their U.S. income taxes the royalties they pay to OPEC. The companies would then have greater incentive to explore for oil in non-OPEC nations. We should emulate Japan and Germany and set up a program partially funded by the Government to finance the search for new oil finds. Finally, we should impose an import quota on OPEC oil and create a North American free trade zone for energy to encourage deliveries from Mexico and Canada...
