...Doubtless the deep first-quarter downturn in productivity is temporary and will be reversed when employers either lay off more workers or increase production-or both. Yet the longer-term trend is not totally reassuring. In global terms, the U.S.'s long lead in productivity has been narrowed. The country's productivity grew at a healthy annual average of about 3% through most of the postwar period, helped by such developments as the fast spread of computers.

As Julie later recalled in a press conference with David, the President "said he would take this constitutionally...
There's not much going on this week--with all the tearjerkers doubtless heading to their catastrophes in the libraries, what would be the point? The Harvard Square Arts Festival continues at the Loeb Ex, though. You can pick up free tickets and more information (I guess) at 6 p.m. the day before each 7:30 performance, but tonight it's something called Stage One, tomorrow an (Om) Theater Workshop, Saturday at 2 a Mask Workshop, Saturday night Collective Movement Theater, Sunday at 2 a Forum, and Sunday night, appropriately enough, a Celebration-- which we can certainly...
