...swung around a full 180 degrees on its former position. Experts predict that by the end of the century there will be 3 million non-white British citizens (or over four per cent of the population). This figure does not allow for any additional immigration, but takes into account the important fact that almost all the immigrant population is of child-bearing...
...just a barefoot girl on Madison Avenue, yearning for her own ad agency, when she sweetied Braniff Airways into handing over its $6,500,000 advertising account in 1966. Since then, Mary Wells, 39, chief flag raiser at Wells, Rich, Greene, Inc., has zapped the buying public with a campaign for Braniff's rainbow-colored planes and Pucci-pantsed stewardesses, lured such other clients to her lair as Alka Seltzer, Benson & Hedges and American Motors. But most of all she wowed Braniff President Harding Lawrence, 47, who offered his hand to Mary after withdrawing it last year from...
...high and the trade gap is running at $220 million for the second consecutive year. Unemployment has gone up (2.5% of the work force), production has fallen, and investment is at a virtual standstill. Forest products-including paper and pulp-which employ over 20% of the work force and account for two-thirds of Finnish exports, are badly squeezed.

About the only things old pokes would still recognize about the industry, indeed, are its size and its troubles. Cattle roam no less than 40% of all the land in the U.S., account for 20% of all farm income and the principal revenues of at least...
Only once or twice does the account come to life, when Josephson deals with some noted figures who were touched by the grandeurs and miseries of the '30s. He has Edmund Wilson darkly prophesying that come the revolution, some intellectual enemy would "be done away with." Whittaker Chambers makes the scene as a malevolent monster who framed a guiltless Hiss, and John Dos Passes is treated with oblique sneers. Chambers and Dos Passos had been vehemently for, and later, vehemently against Communism, and this perhaps is what disturbs Josephson. No Comrade Quixote, he was happily embraced...
