Lorne Greene and the Eternal ‘Bonanza’

It’s possible that, subcon-
sciously, the audience feels
the answers to those ques-
tions are positive But the
people who work on the long-
running series have no such
aims in mind They are sole-

programs that attract view-
ers It's a job of work, not a
psychological exercise
Lorne Greene. Bonanza’s

though he started out as a
newscaster in Canada, he
made the transition a long
time ago To him, and to the
others in the company , the
show is successful because it
tells good stories, and tells
them well
And he still enjoys doing it
He says he made his peace

NEW YORK (UPD—One of
the nation’s foremost ecologists
doesn't think there was much
real improvement in depolluting
the nation’s environment in 1971
and he is not looking for
miracles in 1972
Dr Barry Commoner, direc-
tor of the Center for the
Biology of Natural Systems at
Washington University in St
Louis, and a member of the
board of directors of the
American .Association for the
Advancement of Science, put it
this way
"I would say the main
progress is being made in the
area of local and state rules
The really serious action has
been on those levels rather than
on the federal level "
As an example he cited the
ban on all detergents in some
localities, and to a lesser
degree the elimination of
phosphate detergents in others
Back to Soap
The fact that one county
stops the sales of detergents
doesn't stop detergent pollution
But it does show that if they
can perfectly well get along

We must convert the whole
Dr Commoner said that the "We must mobilize the
replacement of soap a natural resources and the mass con-
product. by detergents a science of the country to face

"Nothing's going to happen

"I am definitely of the
opinion that the Nixon adminis-

its apparent commitment to
environmental reform." Dr.
Commoner said, pointing to the
Presidents support of the SST
and opposition to the new clean
water bill
What he believes science and

leaving the great powers
searching for a successor
agreeable to all.
We can now confidently say
that 1971 is ending on a most
encouraging economic note and
that 1972 will begin as a year of
great economic promise." Nix-
on said last week in signing
legislation extending his author-
ity to control wages and prices
That may sound like a pretty
rosy assessment But not when
it is contrasted with Nixon s
earlier forecast of the economy
in the coming election year
About a year ago Nixon told
a nationwide television aud
ience:
"And this is a prediction
1971 is going to be a year of an
expanding economy in which
inflation, the rise in inflation is
going to continue to go down;
in which unemployment, which
is presently too high will
finally come under control and
begin to recede 1971, in
essence, will be a good year,
and 1972 will be a very good
year.”
Not a Good Year
Well, 1971 was not a good
year It was not quite as bad
overall as 1970, when the nation
late in the year but not until
Nixon imposed a 90-day wage-
price-rent freeze, followed by
an elaborate set of economic
controls
Throughout most of 1971,
Nixon regularly repeated his
prediction that the year would
be a good one, and 1972 a very
good one, for the economy
The President probably hoped
he could talk the economy back
to health The idea behind this
is that if businessmen and
consumers think times are
getting better they will spend
their money in a way that will
spur the economy and help
fulfill the prophecy
But with election day about
11 months away there has been
a subtle change in the
presidential rhetoric The idea
now is to raise hopes but not
too high
Should be Better
Most economists doubt that
the economy can reach robust
prosperity by the first Tuesday
after the first Monday of
November But many of them
agree that things should be a
little better by election day
