...finishing touches on a U.S.-Japanese agreement designed to permit more U.S. imports into Japan, and commit Japan to pep up its economy; it would enable Japanese consumers to buy more of the goods now being exported to the U.S. But West Germany has consistently rejected pleas to speed up its economic growth, mostly out of fear of inflation...
...dollar from plunging too much lower. In that field, at least, the basic policy of intervening to stabilize the falling dollar has been set: but on domestic issues, the incoming chairman has no such clear guidelines. He will be under heavy pressure to pump out enough money to speed up the growth of the economy, yet somehow keep the money supply from growing so rapidly as to accelerate inflation, and to hold down interest rates besides. How can a Fed chairman perform such an exquisitely difficult balancing act? Says one staff member of the Senate Banking Committee: "The answer...
...supply bounced around wildly, rising at an annual rate of over 19% in April, but falling at a 1.8% rate in November. The swings puzzled and frightened investors and were a contributing factor in the stock market's decline.

A change in velocity can cause the Federal Reserve's maneuvers in buying and selling Government securities to expand money supply either much more or much less than the board intends; last year both things happened...
...light they emit is shifted drastically toward the red, or low-frequency, end of the spectrum. Just as a train whistle's lowered pitch indicates that it is moving away from the listener, so the quasars' light suggests that they are receding from the earth at tremendous speeds-some approaching the universe's ultimate speed limit, the velocity of light. And according to a law formulated by Astronomer Edwin Hubbell in 1929, the greater the red shift of light from a galaxy, or island of stars, the farther away the galaxy is from the earth. Indeed, using...
...electronic brains was soon harnessed to answer a difficult question: Which young men could play successfully under Landry's byzantine flex defense and multiple offense? At Cowboy headquarters, part of the basement and a full wall upstairs are lined with 1,500 big black ledgers that detail the size, speed, strength and character of every professional football prospect known to man, God and the truly all-seeing and all-knowing: the Cowboys' scouts. Players from the franchise's early days recall a computer expert hired in 1962 to begin research on a programming system sophisticated enough to factor...
