First, by default, ID uses a low-resolution preview on screen. You can change that with View > Display Performance > High Quality Display (and you can make this the Default in your preferences).

 

Second, 144 ppi is barely adequate for low-resolution printing on a desktop device at 100% scale, and your text will be impossibly pixelated. 72 ppi will be horrid, and if you scale these images larger they will only get worse. For press output the rule of thumb is an EFFECTIVE resolution of 300 ppi at print size, and you can read the effective ppi in the info panel with an image selected. Text at 300 ppi, however is still going to look pretty bad, and you may need to go to 600, 800, or even more. Note that the image needs to be captured at high resolution. Upsampling in Photoshop will not work.
