key planning agencies (e.g., a national development bank, a national service program). And they must acknowledge the need for "social cohesion." Americans' physical and "genetic" health, selective curbs on immigration, and an emphasis on community and cultural bonds, Gra- ham insists, can be promoted individuals with a "progressive" outlook and not left to "ethnocentric conservatives."

Unfortunately, one chip they have put on the bar- gaining table-the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT)-is unlinkable, writes Hamilton, a U.S. Foreign Service officer.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt is generally portrayed scholars as a watchdog who couldn't bark much during the 1930s-an international-ist by inclination who was constrained by staunch isolationism at home. But Harrison, a Pomona College (Calif.) historian, writes that FDR once tried to organize a world peace conference where the democ- racies would unite...

Review (May-June 1981), Superintendentto Dogfight of Documents, Government Printing Of-
fice, Washington, D.C. 20402.
America's new jet fighters-the F-15, F-16, and A-10-have a lot in com-
mon: great speed, dazzling maneuverability, and a single-seat cockpit.
Flanagan, an Air Force major, argues that such heavy reliance on one-
man fighters is a big mistake.
In the first fighter planes of World War I, one man flew, and his part-
ner fired a machine...

For more than 100 developing countries outside OPEC, prosperity seems as distant a goal as it was 30 years ago. Yet despite initial pov- erty and steep oil prices, a few Third World nations have engineered vigorous (eight-plus percent) sustained economic growth over the past decade. How did they do it? Wolf, chief economist at the Rand Corpora- tion, describes...

On April 18, 1979, after contract negotiations broke down, 7,000 prison guards illegally walked off their jobs at 33 New York State institutions. The events of the strike reveal the limitations of collective bargaining, particularly in dealings with public employees, say Zimmer and Jacobs, a graduate...

Wars and the taxes that financed them struck many late 18th-century Englishmen and economists-as well as later historians-as drags on economic growth during the Industrial Revolution. In fact, contends Hartwell, an Oxford historian, the economic benefits of taxation and military spending outweighed their costs.
England's Industrial Revolution roughly coincided with the Napole-...

542, Old Chelsea, New York, N.Y. 10011.
The decline of black family median income relative to white families1- from 62 percent in 1975 to 57 percent today-is widely taken as a sign that black economic progress has slowed. But Kilson, a Harvard politi- cal scientist, contends that this aggregate "lag" masks the emergence of two black classes-the "haves," an employed black majority who have "made it"...
religious orga- nizations, which enabled them to [reduce] those features of lower class life detrimental to upward social mobility." Poor blacks need the same "self-help." Neighborhood church youth programs, the Rev. Jesse Jack- son's efforts to stir black children's zeal for education (PUSH), and new "back-to-basics" black-run private schools-all represent promising ways to break the cycle of poverty.
