United States faces overshoot of optimum population and looming depletion of key resources including gas, oil, uranium, copper, lead, tin, and vine. Scientists warn of famine, civil disorder, and dictatorship amid calls for radical changes in the system.

Communal Kibbutzim in Israel Seen as Child Rearing Utopia
University of Chicago psychologist Bruno Bettelheim described kibbutzim where children are raised communally on farms. Parents visit briefly, shared living spaces, no private property, and decisions made by a general assembly. He noted lack of grades and competition, and claims such upbringing reduces fighting, drugs, vandalism, and sexual promiscuity.
