Senior Writer George Church's first foray into the world of economic journalism was a 1954 story for the Wall Street Journal about a revolutionary trend in packaging orange juice: cardboard containers, like those used for milk. The idea caught on and so, quite clearly, did Church. He rose to become a front-page editor at the Journal, joined TIME as a business writer in 1969, and served for four years as the editor of the Economy & Business section. Since moving to the Nation section early last year, Church has proved himself to be one of the magazine...
...appear to be more vulnerable than others to miscarriage-as well as to stillbirth, premature birth and ectopic pregnancy (in which the fetus grows outside the uterus). Dr. Ann Barnes of Massachusetts General Hospital studied 1,236 women, half of them DES daughters. She reports in the New England Journal of Medicine that the risk of not achieving a full-term birth was 69% higher for DES daughters than for others. Barnes also offers some reassurance: 81% of the DES daughters who became pregnant still achieved at least one full-term live birth (the rate for non-DES women...

...kind of policy Carter is pursuing can only succeed if he does more than, in the Journal's words, "trim the fingernails of the federal budget." But budget cuts deep enough to satisfy business would come at too high a human cost and would very likely bring a depression. A new direction is necessary: Carter should impose price controls immediately. Then the task of raising output by putting Americans back to work can begin. Programs to make the nation more energy-efficient are the best way in the long run to stop inflation, by improving productivity and lessening dependence...
Still, even the scientists involved in the latest tests continue to urge caution. In a New England Journal editorial, Dr. Robert Hoover, who reported the National Cancer Institute results, notes that the tests showed only that saccharin had not caused any of the current bladder tumors in patients. Because the sweetener has been in widespread use only since the 1960s, it could have still undiscovered long-range carcinogenic effects on the bladder and other organs. Thus, Hoover warns, "any use by nondiabetic children or pregnant women, heavy use by young women of child-bearing age and excessive use by anyone...
