...season. With endorsements, his income at one point was estimated at $2 million a year. The Cosmos, with the blessing of the Brazilian government, were able to lure the 34-year-old star back to the soccer pitch by offering him an estimated $4.5 million for three years. That sum is about twice the annual payrolls of all 20 teams in the North American Soccer League...
Coldly Realistic. In sum, Levy persuasively reasons that paying for oil will continue to be a burden, heavy even for the industrial states and crushing for the many poor countries that do not possess oil. He fears that attempts by each nation to cure its own deficit could lead to "a mushrooming of new barriers to trade" that oil importers would erect, not against OPEC but against each other. In his coldly realistic report, Levy predicts it will take at least three or four more years than the banks anticipate-or roughly until 1983-84-before the problem begins...

Congress voted $456.3 million for 840,000 jobs-but lumped that sum into a $5.3 billion bill that also provided far more money than the White House had requested for such other programs as public works and unemployment compensation. Ford vetoed the bill, and last week the House failed by five votes to override. This week, though, Congress will probably pass a scaled-down version of the bill...
