...week a newly published volume of Strumilin's collected essays arrived in Washington. In one hitherto unprinted essay on the technical topic of "Investment Effectiveness." Strumilin admits what Western experts have long suspected: official Soviet figures on industrial growth are unreliable because of "double counting." That is to say, in computing overall industrial output the Russians count the value of sheet steel, for instance, over and over-first when it emerges from the steel mill and again in computing the total value of the truck or other product made from it. "Growth of gross output purposely exaggerates the real...
Through all their success since those days, Mike and Elaine have almost conspiratorially managed to deflect inquiries into their private lives. ("I will tell you something," Elaine will say cooperatively, "but I warn you it is a lie.") Elaine has never remarried, and Mike is separated. Since neither makes any sort of conscious effort to search for new ideas-the birth of a sketch is usually accomplished with a simple remark, such as "You be a dentist. I'll be a patient"-they read miscellaneously. Nichols enjoys his subscription to Dog World, even though he has given...
...extraordinary thing about Mike Nichols and Elaine May is their wit. They use that, too, to keep their lives to themselves. Since reporters are forever asking them for details about their offstage relationship, they have just devised an all-purpose answer.

Today's pollution problem is bad. But by 1970 an estimated 75% of the U.S. population will be jammed into only 10% of the nation's land area, and the dangers of environmental contamination will be infinitely more acute. Says Cincinnati's Dr. Kehoe: "The new and dangerous environment that man has created for himself now provides a challenge to both curative and preventive medicine-a challenge that requires additional types of medical knowledge, new medical skills, and new settings for application of such knowledge and skills." Adds Cornell's Dr. McDermott: "To reduce pollution significantly...
Murtaugh lets his starting pitchers try to work themselves out of trouble instead of jerking them at the first long hit, loyally sticks to the same, starting lineup. Says Pirates' General Manager Joe L. Brown, son of the chasm-mouthed comedian: "Dan never pushes the panic button." With little raw power in his lineup, Murtaugh has revived an oldfashioned, single-slapping brand of baseball, leniently lets his players flash the sign for the hit-and-run whenever they see a chance. "Murtaugh lets us use our own judgment," says Hoak, "until it proves to be bad judgment. For instance...
