Marglin, a Marxist economist, called the improvement a sign of the "contradictions of the capitalist system." He explained that the economy cannot sustain full employment at the same time as stable prices and high profits...
...nequins' limbs are out of kilter under synthetic negligees in translucent shades of green and blue, fascinates me, while Corcoran's spacious, well-tended window doesn't interest me. Some charming stores have sprouted between the frowzy ones, too. I like Paul's Shoes because the cobbler printed his sign in slithery black letters. And I'm sorry the miniscule take-out stand for Greek food on River St. closed down, because it was shaped like two graduated sizes of building blocks stacked one on the other and painted in chalky blue and white stripes after the Greek national colors...
With only 21% of the voters identifying themselves as Republicans in the Gallup poll, Mac Mathias is concerned that the G.O.P. may so narrow its base as to "sign its own death warrant." He sees himself as a "centrist" able to appeal to independents and middle-of-the-road voters disenchanted with both parties. But why not fight from within his own party for the nomination?

...Shifts. The Chinese sensitivity to any sign of U.S. softening toward the Soviet Union was vividly demonstrated after Ford sacked Defense Secretary James Schlesinger.

Like the interim agreement itself, the happy hand-over of Ras Sudr owes much to American help. Experts from several American oil firms, including hard-bitten ex-roughnecks from Texas, had gone to Ras Sudr in October to arrange the turnover on Egypt's behalf. At the signing ceremony, which took place inside a former Israeli compound (a sign on the fence in Hebrew warned of land mines), the Egyptians beamingly approved of the Americans' work. "You have done a great job," said Hilal. "We hope we will see you again in Egypt." Answered Mobil's Cairo...
