After years of costly court fights, Reserve was ordered by a U.S. district court last summer (TIME, July 26) to end its pollution of the lake by next July 7.

Neoclassical economists--Samuelson and his colleagues--have gone astray, writes Schumacher, surreptitiously sneaking value judgments into their theoretical toolkits, and by choosing the wrong values...
...other songs are very nearly all just as inspired. There are paeans to rural drug use--"Illicit Smile": Please don't arrest me sir, I'm smiling because I feel no pain, not because I killed somebody--like one of you Babbitts.
