...since 1967. Yet, with an annual per capita income of only $185, Indonesia's 140 million people rank among the world's poorest. Roughly 6 million people are unemployed. The influx of foreign funds was led by an oil boom that has made Indonesia, with a daily output of 1.7 million bbl., Asia's only main exporter of crude. Corruption and haphazard government policies, however, have slowed further oil exploration to a crawl, and Indonesia may lose its exporting position within a decade...
...literary Establishment has never considered Anthony Trollope a great novelist, like such near contemporaries as Tolstoy, Flaubert or Balzac. Noted at least partly for his prodigious output -47 novels, five travel books, and innumerable articles-he has never been ranked higher than third or fourth among his peers in Victorian England, after Dickens, George Eliot and probably Thackeray. Readers, however, have been kinder, and Trollope has always enjoyed an enthusiastic following. During World War II, for example, he ranked first in the esteem of English readers, and Londoners took him down to the Tubes to help them forget the German...
...meeting will be the grim fact that with the exception of the U.S. and Japan, the world economy is showing virtually no sign of improvement and is not expected to this year. The Economic Commission for Europe, a Geneva-based U.N. organization, predicts that Western Europe's output of goods and services, discounted for inflation, will increase only 3% through December, not enough to stem rising unemployment. Trade will grow at only half of 1976's 11% rate, says the commission, and the rise in consumer prices will back off only slightly, from 10.5% last year...
...Probable Output. As a rule, oilmen use two basic figures in assessing world oil potential: proven reserves and possible, or probable, reserves. Proven reserves are figured by many oil geologists at 640 billion bbl., almost a 30-year supply at current consumption rates-but despite the name they are scarcely "proven" in the sense that a proposition in Euclidean geometry is; they are really only estimates based on the best available evidence. To determine proven reserves, geologists study earth strata by drilling for rock and fluid samplings. Often calculations predict probable output by comparing it with production from similar fields...
...plan. The President has called for increasing production from 665 million tons a year at present to 1.1 billion tons by 1985. Even so, coalmen are far from happy. They worry that tough clean-air standards will divert utilities to nuclear power and new strip-mining regulations will inhibit output. Mine operators are concerned that the surge in demand will drive up prices and Government allocation plans and price controls could become necessary...
