...Quad's future as a House system, thus stalling its development until a new House plan is chosen. Such reasoning seems silly if you consider that much of the Quad's lack of popularity lies in its distance from the present Soldiers Field facilities. The new complex will tilt that imbalance even heavier toward the River House. And, most importantly, the Quad could use a facility like the Observatory Hill complex...
According to conventional economic theory, when unemployment is high and factories are running at less than full tilt, prices are not supposed to shoot upward. Increasingly, however, they have-as indeed they are doing now. That anomaly poses a formidable challenge to economists, and it is the paradox to which John Kenneth Galbraith addresses himself in his latest book: Money: Whence It Came, Where It Went (Houghton Mifflin, $10). His conclusion: "Corporate and union power" is the heavy; it "can defeat efforts to combine high employment with stable prices" regardless of the state of business, and can be curbed only...

Furthermore, the surface of the earth in the same area had undergone slight but noticeable changes in tilt. Those changes, he said, were just "the sort one would expect to see before a quake." John Healy, another USGS scientist, was even more emphatic. Johnston's data, he said, left little doubt that Hollister could expect a moderate earthquake of up to magnitude 5 on the Richter scale.* When...
