...economy should also be stimulated by certain Government expenditures that, under Washington bookkeeping conventions, do not show up in the headline-making administrative budget, but do appear in the "national income account budget"-in effect, a separate working budget that includes Government trust funds for special purposes. Among these: the social security trust fund, which would increase its outlays by $2.1 billion next fiscal year, partially financed by a 1.25% increase in the employer-employee payroll tax. While the administrative budget anticipates a decreased deficit, the "national income accounts budget" will show a deficit increase of an estimated $1 billion...
...pursue the consumer "not in the sweet by-and-by, but in the much sweeter now-and-now." Now-and-now statistics show that teen-agers spend $570 million on toiletries, $1.5 billion a year on entertainment. $3.6 billion on women's clothes-$12 billion all told. They account for 25% of the record industry, 35% of the movie audience.

This time Labor is generally expected to seize only the ten or twelve largest firms that account for some 80% of industry capacity...
Poison Plot. Astonishingly enough, Eugen has been little studied, and this thorough biography by Nicholas Henderson, a high-ranking member of Britain's Foreign Office, is the first full-scale account in English of this extraordinary man. His career is only comprehensible in terms of a day when Europe was fragmented into provinces rather than nations, when men were loyal to patrons rather than nations, and when aristocrats felt more kinship to other aristocrats than to their own peasants. Eugen was the product of just such confused loyalties, unimaginable in these tidier times. For all his years serving...
