...greatest crises in modern history-a crisis that seemed to mark the total breakdown of the American system-and his response to that emergency changed the nation's ways forever. In the tumultuous period still known as the Hundred Days, he pushed through Congress a broad array of legislation, ranging from the reform of the nation's banks to the reorganization of the entire farm system. Yet as the expected battles in Congress over new taxes and budget cuts will make clear, the arguments of 1932 still shape the state of the nation in 1982. This...
...matter how those complex issues are finally resolved, the coming battle in telecommunications will be a multi-billion-dollar struggle of giants. AT&T is already one of the world's leading producers of an array of highly sophisticated electronics equipment and computer-driven data and information-processing equipment. Yet the outside world rarely learns of its prodigious high-tech output, since virtually all of it is consumed internally by subsidiaries and affiliates throughout the Bell System.

Thus matters stood last week: Coppola hurtling through space with the Zoetrope mortgage in his teeth as 6,000 New Yorkers-1,000 freebies and 5,000 paid-squelched through hock-deep gutter slush into the theater.

University officals must first convince business executives of the importance of undergraduate institutions to the aims of private corporations. Rallying a wide array of arguments, they have stressed the need to train future teachers, and what Andrew Heiskell, the retired CEO of Time, Inc. and chairman of Harvard's corporate gifts committee, calls "the liberal education that is the essence of any managerial...
...Burger has been pleading for prison programs that would help turn the myth of rehabilitation into reality. In a speech last week at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, he offered his latest vision of tomorrow's prisons: "Factories with fences around them." Inmates would turn out an array of goods for "reasonable compensation"; a fair amount would be deducted for room and board and the released workers eventually would take their places as more productive members of society. His plan, he said, has special urgency because the nation is expected to spend up to $10 billion...
