...While West Germany continued to enjoy its brightly lit prosperity, the eastern half of the divided country was in gloomy want. As the weather turned colder, there were official warnings against the use of electric heaters because of East Germany's power shortage. Shops were short of shoes. Butter, milk and meat were hard to find in many cities. The papers kept reporting arrests of "economic criminals"; one 69-year-old woman in Dresden drew 15 months for hoarding food, and in Frankfurt-on-Oder a man who burned down two barns full of corn was sentenced to death...

...first time in the memory of the oldest bleacherite, not a single triple play was made in either league. But fielding was as slick as ever. Milwaukee led all National League teams, New York topped the American League, and only five of the 18 big-league clubs were butter-fingered enough to commit an average of one error a game. The individual stars: Cardinal Veteran Stan Musial, better known for his hitting, set a record by becoming the National League's best-fielding outfielder for the third time; Red Sox Rookie Chuck Schilling booted only eight balls all season...

...design engine parts and direct machine tools; Fiat intends to double daily auto production within three years. At Hamburg's Willy Schlieker shipyards, a slender beam of light moves along the lines of a blueprint and automatically directs acetylene torches that slice through thick slabs of steel like butter.

...Charles W. Lubin, 58, president of the Kitchens of Sara Lee. Like all Alger heroes, Lubin ascribes his success to a simple formula: Lubin makes what Lubin likes. What stocky Charley Lubin likes are diet-defying coffee cakes, cheesecakes, chocolate cakes and pound cakes-all loaded with calorie-packed butter and topped wherever possible with sugar icings and pecans. And Lubin's taste for rich, high-quality baked goods is clearly widely shared. Now the most profitable subsidiary of Chicago's Consolidated Foods Corp. (other brands: Monarch, Hires), Sara Lee last year accounted for 6% of Consolidated...

Mechanical Quality. Lubin's shop is an automated showplace in suburban Chicago where cakes seem to shoot off the assembly line by magic. Sara Lee is the nation's biggest commercial user of cream cheese, fresh bananas and butter, which Lubin fanatically insists must always be 93-score AA-the best grade produced. Pumped or carted from huge storage areas, these ingredients are squeezed and squirted into an endless line of aluminum foil pans that winds through an oven at the rate of 2,400 an hour and finally out to the shipping room. But Lubin...
