...swift spread, first of inflation, then of recession, across national borders has dramatized as never before the growing economic interdependence of all industrial nations. But that interdependence has not been matched by any close coordination of economic policy. The major countries continue to follow individual courses-and sometimes to shift policy abruptly. Canada last month imposed selective wage-price controls that Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau had vehemently denounced during the 1974 election campaign. Harold Wilson last week announced a new British economic program under which, for the next five years, government aid to industries judged likely to grow most rapidly...
...third and fourth lines, however, bring essentially untested players to the fore. Junior Bill Hozack will center the third Trio with senior Phelps Swift and Mike Leckie on wings. All were letterman last year, but saw only limited action...
...meeting of the CHUL last Wednesday afternoon I entered the discussion of whether or not the meetings should be open to the press to say that I had never been misquoted by The Crimson.

There were a number of embarrassing inaccuracies in your Thursday article reporting that my wife and I had informed the President that we would accept an offer to continue in a regular term as Co-Masters of Lowell House.

...took a Raleigh, N.C., jury 78 minutes last summer to agree that the state had not proved that convicted Burglar Joan Little had murdered her guard with an ice pick during a jailbreak. Was the case as weak as that swift verdict implied? Not at all, claims, of all people, Little's attorney, Jerry Paul. Paul told the New York Times last week that though he thinks Little is innocent, the acquittal proved less about justice than about the ineptness of the prosecution and the power of $325,000, which the defense spent on the case. The judge contends...
