...discovered, lies at the southern edge of a vast field stretching 1,000 miles down the Ob River. Its oil production, which has doubled every year since 1965, is expected to hit 130 million tons by 1975, comparable to half of Saudi Arabia's output. A spur from the Trans-Siberian Railroad has been completed between the provincial capital of Tyumen and Tobolsk-both sleepy towns become boom cities-and is being extended 300 miles northward to Surgut...
...decades, gross national product, the estimated money value of a nation's total output of goods and services, has been popularly accepted as the most significant gauge of prosperity. But the G.N.P. is a crude and sometimes misleading measure. As conventionally calculated, it fails to adjust for such nonmonetary penalties of industrial growth as pollution and the nightmare of city congestion, or for such additions to material well-being as the pleasure a husband derives when his wife cooks a gourmet meal instead of popping a TV dinner into the oven.

Known to management consultants as "performance shares," the concept is simple enough.

Under many plans, he begins receiving dividends on the shares immediately, although he may not take possession of the shares themselves for years-sometimes not until he retires...
Despite his public image of lounge-lizard torpor, he doted on work. This accounts for his staggering creative output: he composed the music and lyrics for 281 songs, wrote 27 plays, a novel, five books of short stories and two volumes of autobiography. Amazingly, he could not read music. He hummed and whistled his tunes, and then played them by ear. One group of numbers is misty-eyed romantic, starlight-in-champagne (I'll Follow My Secret Heart, Zigeuner, Someday I'll Find You). The other group pinches a satiric nerve with droll spoofery (Mad Dogs and Englishmen...
China's struggle to feed its expanding population has suffered a new setback. Peking announced recently that grain output last year was down 10,000,000 metric tons from a high of 250 million tons in 1971. The reasons for the decline were heavy floods and windstorms in many parts of China and one of the worst droughts in a century in the northern provinces...
