...where the Muppets are "born" and came away a true believer, like the rest of her colleagues. Says she: "Kids pick up the nuances in the Muppets. They enjoy the Muppets because everything else is a rerun. This is fresh, with universal appeal." And then she had a happy thought for the holidays: "I only wish that I could have all the Muppets to my house for Christmas dinner." As you'll see in this week's six-page story, that would guarantee a very merry Christmas indeed...
...taken to restore momentum. This is something that perhaps only the U.S. can do. To be sure, Press Secretary Powell griped last week that the Middle East talks have already devoured more Administration time than "any two or three" urgent domestic problems, such as inflation and unemployment. And the thought of convening another Camp David-style summit makes Administration aides shudder. Carter said it is "not my preference," and one senior official declared emphatically: "It is the last thing we want."

Antinuke forces thought such celebrating was premature. Physicist Henry Kendall of the Union of Concerned Scientists called the test meaningless because the LOFT reactor has less than 2% of the output of a typical atomic plant.

In the words of Economist Otto Eckstein, a member of TIME'S Board of Economists: "1978 was the year in which our nose was rubbed in the new reality." Part of the new reality is that inflation is Public Enemy No. 1, that it is persistent and pervasive, and that...
Still, the odds are that the IRS will modify its plan, a move that would win support from such Senate liberals as Edmund Muskie, Thomas Eagleton and John Chafee-all of whom have urged the service to give more thought to the needs of "innocent private and parochial institutions." Said Commissioner Kurtz: "This is a question we are very concerned about and will be examining closely." Although he gave no hint of the IRS's response, Kurtz made it plain to the chorus urging him to revise his plan that he had got the message...
