...years ago the issue was divestiture; two decades ago it was a foreign war, and student participation in policy-making; two centuries ago it was "butter that stinketh not." Two years from now it may be divestiture, the draft, needblind admissions, a new foreign war, or something totally unforeseen. If we reject these for safer issues today, they will return to haunt us and undo our "safe" work tomorrow...
...more imports. The essential aim of summits has been to try to coordinate the domestic policies of the world's major industrial nations so that one nation's targets for trade, inflation or growth are not in conflict with another's. This effort has had mixed and occasionally unforeseen results, most notably in Bonn in 1978, when the seven tried to coordinate their growth targets in a "locomotive" strategy led by Germany and Japan. The locomotive crashed into the 1979-80 oil crisis, and at later summits all seven switched their emphasis to fighting inflation even at the cost...
Burcham's rapid decline and death are the latest in a series of disappointments and unforeseen disasters that have plagued the artificial- heart program.

That gap, which measures how much more Americans have been importing than exporting, drained substantial purchasing power out of the U.S. economy and funneled it to manufacturers in Japan and other foreign countries. Without the damage wrought by the shortfall, the G.N.P. would have increased a robust 5.7% during the third quarter...
