...also a master of the throwaway and can brush off a fast line like a piece of dandruff off his rumpled suit. Confronted with a thick M.A. thesis entitled "Henry James and the Crucified Consciousness," he examines it quickly, notes that it is laid out "like a film scenario," and tosses it aside with the assurance that the author "must be an American." Bates is also able to supply some shading that the writing lacks. His face, as the film ends, begins to show the first traces of brutal emptiness and panic, as if he had been subjected...
...dogma of equality of results turns up some bizarre arguments. In his recent book More Equality, Herbert J. Gans, a Columbia University sociologist, draws up a scenario for "cultural equality" that would eliminate "invidious status and other distinctions between 'highbrow,' 'middlebrow' and 'lowbrow' levels of taste." "A culturally equal society," writes Gans approvingly, "would thus treat all ways of expressing oneself and acting as equal in value, status and moral worth."

Even that less than comforting scenario, and similar ones projected in other nations, could go awry if labor unions force fat settlements. In the U.S., AFL-CIO President George Meany and other leaders are talking up a drive for wage and benefit boosts of 10% or more this year. Japanese unions are demanding an economy-wide...
...many motorists to take to the skies for long trips. Airlines have used the energy crisis as an excuse to drop hundreds of unprofitable flights, and have been allowed to raise fares 5% to help cover higher costs. Last week the CAB put the finishing touch on that pleasant scenario: it ordered its long-awaited restructuring of fares, but the net effect for most lines should be a slight gain in revenue...
