...KNOW I CAN'T HEAR YOU WHEN THE WATER'S RUNNING. Robert Anderson's characters share a universal preoccupation: sex. As an element of shock in art, a waning force in middle age, a matter of concern to parents, a misty memory of the aged, sex links these four consistently droll, frequently hilarious and occasionally touching playlets...
...remains at once the biggest, least predictable issue. Should the war last five to ten years, Harvard Economist John Kenneth Galbraith, newly elected chairman of the Americans for Democratic Action, warned last week, "this disaster could, indeed, mean the death and burial of the Democratic Party." Few other Democrats share that gloomy view, but the war could cost a covey of doves their Senate seats in 1968.

Since then, there has been no significant change in the basis for contracting. The government still has no legal redress for excess profits...
...analysis essentially assumes that all people participating in the market share equal power and control over decisions they make. For example, an equal relationship between the consumer and the seller is assumed. We learn about how oligopolies use advertising to create wants, but since such firms depart from the competitive model, this does not necessarily bring into question the analyses of the model itself. But what about competitive firms using advertising to create wants? This is discussed in the readings solely in terms of permitting monopolistic price rises through product differentiation. We suggest that such advertising is also...
