Another major reason for Dallas' success is its tradition of joint private-public ventures. The city and Oilman Ray Hunt, the half brother of Silver Baron Bunker Hunt, combined to develop a hotel and sports complex in a section of Dallas' west side that had been stagnant for 50 years. Hunt and the city shared the cost of building new roads and Hunt paid for railroad underpasses in the area...
...poor and middle class to give to the rich. The plan's rationale--that it will reduce both inflation and unemployment--is based on unproven assumptions like the much-disputed Laffer curve.

The stagnant '70s had their share of grim talebearers, notably Joyce Carol Oates, who attracted an unusually wide audience for a short-story writer. Reading the bulk of her work is like taking an unblinking look through the files of a psychiatric social worker. The Dead, her contribution to Prize Stories of the Seventies, follows a neurasthenic woman writer named Ilena through a declining marriage, a feverish love affair and literary success. The first...
