Washington hearings on credit business reveal a coming era of centralized personal data across households. Professor Arthur Miller notes a new technology approaching, promising vast data retrieval networks that feel like invisible cobwebs over the land within 10 to 15 years.
The piece describes Kilpatrick James as a keystone for a forthcoming communications medium linking local computer systems through phones, satellites, and lasers. It highlights the Associated Credit Bureaus of America and Credit Data Corporation building interlinked data centers to instantly retrieve credit histories for over 100 million U.S. families. The system, named Credipak, would compile detailed personal data from birth to employment, lawsuits, bankruptcies, and more, enabling rapid access to a person’s life record. Senator Hart’s subcommittee reviews antitrust implications, while concerns about safeguarding power, privacy, and potential misuse are raised.
The author argues America uniquely teaches English as a standalone subject after basic reading and writing, whereas Britain assumes pupils will master English through reading and literature without a separate language course. The piece critiques American schooling for segregating language study from broader literacy.
A columnist argues English is misused as a mere formal subject. He criticizes teachers trained for specific subjects, calls for stronger language instruction across curricula, and notes college entrants repeat English courses due to weak reading and writing, hindering American students compared to foreign peers.
The piece argues no sound monetary system exists under current policies. Since Bretton Woods in 1944, most currencies except the dollar have devalued. It urges reforms unlinking paper reserves, easing borrowing during trouble, loosening discipline, and removing inflation penalties.
