...this week's cover story, Taber spoke with Harvard's Martin Feldstein and other members of this new group of "incentive economists" and with such top economic policymakers as Treasury Secretary G. William Miller and Presidential Adviser Charles Schultze. Says Taber: "I was surprised to find that officials who often begrudge 15 minutes to discuss current policy would happily sit back for an hour and theorize about what has gone wrong with the economy and why." Until recently, Taber notes, the average American had little familiarity with that topic. Says...

I figured I was about to get my head blowed off." The sagebrush was piled on top of more than a thousand pounds of marijuana. But the smugglers had gone to town for some sleep.

The suit accuses officers of systematically beating handcuffed prisoners, unjustifiably shooting unarmed suspects, "inflicting disproportionate abuse upon black persons and persons of Hispanic origin," and failing to investigate complaints of brutality...
...spiritual side of running" that contains such lines as "running as spiritualism is the lifting from your shoulders of an insoluble puzzle." On the Run, by Marty Liquori and Skip Myslenski (Morrow; $9.95), shows the great miler and distance runner to be as dedicated and self-critical as every top athlete must be. But Liquori is more instructive on television. Running Back, by Steve Heidenreich and Dave Dorr (Hawthorn; $11.95), is nondramatic; it describes how Heidenreich slogged his way back to health after an auto accident in 1976 nearly killed...
