The Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) was inevitable, writes Russell, principal U.S. negotiator for the initial "Dec- laration on Principles" signed in Helsinki August 1, 1975. It was a necessary element in the "process of detente." Failure to conclude an agreement would have raised serious doubts about the viability...

MIT economist Thurow looks at what lies ahead for the economy in America's third century and finds some serious problems obscured current misconceptions. Contrary to popular belief, he contends, economic growth has not brought us more leisure time, but less: "American families are working more and more, with fewer and fewer hours at home." (Hours of paid work by women...

Con- gress and the Securities and Exchange Commission in an "erratic and inequitable application of existing but inadequate statutes." Critics in the business community accuse the SEC of exceeding its 1933 Congres- sional mandate calling for disclosure of all "material" informat"ion about a publicly owned company-that is, only information of signifi- cance to an investor. The SEC seems to regard all "improper acts" as "material." Moreover, critics charge,...

A realistic solution, Berger argues, must take account of those who regard education as a tool for self-discovery. When bonded with the New Consciousness, celebrated in 1970 in Charles Reich's b...
2025, while higher mortality rates in
the poorer, hungier countries gradually cut average world life ex-
pectancy from 55 years in 1975 to 45 in 2025, world population will
stabilize for the following 50 years, while mortality slowly decreases
and life expectancy rises to 63. This last projection suggests a stable
world population of about 6 billion 2075 but, says Echols, the
price will be "terrible suffering for the less developed Southern
Hemisphere."
"Save Energy,...
Edmund Faltermayer, in Potential Fortune (Feb. 1976), Time & Life Build- ing, New York, N.Y. 10020.
Solar energy might seem to be the perfect solution to our energy prob- lems-it is "everlastingly abundant" and completely benign to the en- vironment. But sunpower has inherent limitations, Faltermayer says. It cannot be stored for long or transported far (unless converted to electricity). More serious is "the high cost of gathering the sun's free energy." Equipping a house...
