...black soldier a debt both for his service in Viet Nam and his suffering at home. These men are a new generation of black soldiers. Unlike the veterans of a year or two ago, they are immersed in black awareness and racial pride. It is only this fall and winter that they will be returning to civilian life in the cities. If they find that nothing has changed there, then they could constitute a formidable force in the streets of America, schooled and tempered in all the violent arts as no generation of blacks has ever been...
...subcontracted to friends like LIFE'S Steve Gelman and Harper's Magazine Editor Willie Morris, allowing Schaap more time to juggle phone calls and pursue other projects. For example: a golf and repartee match between Kramer, Beard, DeBusschere and Mets Pitcher Tom Seaver, to be filmed this winter...
...harsh but strangely lovely land, home mainly to the grizzly, polar bear, wolverine, caribou, fox, Dall sheep and countless geese and ducks.

The country's unemployment rate in August rose to 2.5%, the highest for that month since 1940, and fears of a sharp recession this winter are growing. Other countries' hopes for restraining inflation without recession depend in great part on how quickly the U.S. cools its overheated economy. U.S. inflation has caused imports to rise, and they include much European production that is needed to satisfy consumer demand on the Continent. To a remarkable...
