...Powell's behavior could not pass unnoticed. But to refuse him the seat to which he was duly elected was a noxious affront to overwhelmingly Negro constituency. Its desire to have Powell as its representative has been -- and probably will continue to be -- quite clear. And as a Congressman, he has effectively and eloquently fought for Harlem's needs...

Before every postwar recession-in 1948, 1953, 1957 and 1960-inventories have soared like Icarus only to plunge as businessmen liquidated their stocks. Right now, some familiar warning signals are flying...
