Sharing the Dollar. Why the rush? The buoyant economy has encouraged Americans to spend their profits on pleasure. Airlines fostered the boom by increasing the number of flights and decreasing fares (the lowest seasonal round-trip rate from New York to Jamaica is $44 less than last year's). The main reason for the boom, and perhaps the simplest, is that winter vacations to sunny climates have become more and more a vital part of American life...
...prevent imbalances in the economy, Johnson again urged Congress to set up procedures that "will permit rapid action on temporary income tax cuts if recession threatens." He cited other measures that he expects to help keep the economy buoyant through 1965: an excise tax cut that would, if approved by Congress, amount to $700 million this year, $1.75 billion when fully implemented; a 7% boost in social security cash benefits, amounting to $1.25 billion a year; an increase of $3.5 billion in federal spending; income tax cuts, completing the two-stage provisions of last year's legislation, amounting...
Marc Blitzstein's musical The Cradle Will Rock after all these years has been equaled only by Carousel, The Golden Apple, West Side Story and perhaps one or two others.

Once its target is located, a Skyhook rescue plane sends a 400-lb., do-it-yourself kit drifting downward by parachute. The bulky package, which is buoyant enough to float if it lands on water, contains a cylinder filled with helium and 500 ft. of woven nylon line with a special suit attached to one end, a balloon to the other. The man to be rescued must be in good enough physical shape to do a few simple things: put on the suit and inflate the balloon with helium. Once the big bag rises to the full length...
...Since aluminum's strength-to-weight ratio exceeds that of steel, the Aluminaut's 6½-in.-thick shell will withstand pressures of 7,500 lbs. per sq. in. at the sub's 17,000-ft. maximum diving range. At the same time, the craft is buoyant enough to surface, submerge and operate easily under its own power...
