Lately, the long-term trend to capital tightness has been aggravated in the U.S. by the Government's large-scale bor rowings to finance its budget deficit. Through issues of securities and loans, the market generates about $70 billion in credit yearly.

...have read your article on "Hiring the Hard Core" [March 8], in which you listed Chase Chairman George Champion among the "critics" of the current trend toward greater involvement by private business in public problems. Far from criticizing this trend, Mr. Champion has for a long time been one of its most outspoken advocates. The quote you used was lifted out of context from a Harvard Business Review article in which he urged that the business community do much more than it has in the past to help solve problems outside the normal boundaries of day-to-day business...
...small drug pushers, police mainly cut supplies and raise prices, which addicts then meet by more thefts and burglaries. In New York City, the daily toll is almost $1,000,000, and addicts account for half the city's convicts. Not only are big suppliers untouched; a national trend to mandatory sentences and no parole or probation in drug cases is defeating curative efforts...
