...Times almost perfectly crystallizes Pinter's dramaturgy, is it therefore his best play? That probably depends on how one feels about the direction of his career. Pinter's growth has been a spiral turning inward rather than outward. The question is how far he can pursue his ideal at the center before he meets himself coming back. It has always been part of his artistic courage to pitch his plays at the limits of the minimal and rarefied, and part of his importance is that he can make them work. For all its brilliance, Old Times does seem...
This analysis differs sharply from the reading of Administration economists and the monetarist school led by Milton Friedman, who see a vigorous expansion developing. Friedman recently went so far as to say that the problem is "to keep the economy from going too fast" and setting off another inflationary spiral. Yet most economists and businessmen tend to agree with TIME'S board...
...currency changes should increase U.S. exports and hold down imports by making the prices of American goods look more attractive than before. Any lasting improvement in the balance of payments is unlikely until the U.S. finds ways of sharpening its competitive strength by checking the American wage spiral and spurring research and development (instead of stifling it in some areas). For financial as well as other reasons, the U.S. needs to trim its military and political commitments around the world. But any such cutback will oblige Europe and Japan to do more to defend themselves and aid the underdeveloped world...
...next degree of liability in this downward spiral applies to a gratuitous invitee, who qualifies as a guest and not a trespasser. The slightest degree of liability is that due a trespasser on private property...
...discovery of DNA's structure: the bickering, the academic rivalries, even the deceits that were practiced to win the great prize. Out of Pauling's earlier work, Watson and Crick got the idea that the extremely long and complicated DNA molecule might take the shape of a helix, or spiral. From the X-ray crystallography laboratory at King's College in London, where Biochemist Maurice Wilkins was also investigating the molecule's structure, they quietly obtained unpublished X-ray data on DNA. Relying as much on luck as logic, they constructed Tinkertoy-like molecular models out of wire and other...
