The latest issue of Mother Jones (December) has a provocative article on "high-tech" industry and economic politics. To quote : "Here then, is the challenge: unless high-tech executives begin to think as imaginatively about people as they do about semiconductors, we are headed for social chaos. What this country needs is not just a good ten-cent microchip. We need extensive job retraining for those displaced by the new technologies, shorter work weeks so everyone is guaranteed a job, and union protection so these jobs will be safe and provide a decent wage." The article contains a number of short interviews with industry executives and it is interesting to get some insight on their economic views, as well as to highlight some of the problems we may be facing in the wake of the current technological revolution.

From 7/17/84 Rocky Mountain News:
In an Andy Rooney column discussing demonstrators at the
San Fransisco Democratic Convention, Andy reports a group
called the "Family Forum," a pro-Falwell group chanting:
"Mommies, Mommies, don't be commies/
Stay at home and fold pajammies"
Well, at least it's original...
