Opinions vary on just how-and how much-sales will be affected by an advertising fadeout on the air waves. In Britain, where cigarette ads were banned from TV in 1965, sales dipped at first, then recovered and went to new highs. In the U.S., per capita sales began declining last year, partly because young sters no longer feel the social need to smoke. They have been increasingly concerned about the health hazards, particularly since mid-1967, when the networks were forced to air antismoking commercials on TV. Indeed, the tobaccomen's decision to turn off their tremendously expensive...
...consumers from sharing fully in Japan's industrial growth. Businessmen abroad complain about the low prices of Japanese exports, but prices inside Japan have been rising at close to the fastest rate in the industrialized world -5.3% last year. The 102 million Japanese now own more appliances per capita than any people except Americans but have practically no room for them. Housing space in metropolitan areas averages 40 ft. per person, no more than before World War II. To millions of people jammed into the overcrowded cities, Japan's industrial might has brought not affluence but effluence. Photos...
There are, or at least seem to be, two major objectives of the Cuban Revolution, and what I can say relates to them and the problems and drawbacks surrounding them.

...ubiquitous sign of the times. Last year, U.S. builders put up just under eight houses and apartments for every 1,000 people, which was half of 1950's record pace. The U.S., once preeminent, now lags behind Western Europe, Japan and Russia in housing output on a per capita basis. This week the Nixon Administration will announce formation of the National Corporation for Housing Partnerships, a Comsat-style combination of Government and private industry. The corporation expects that its activities will add at least 10,000 new houses and apartments a year in the 1970s for families earning...
...policy is based remain realistic in the '60s. Some U.S. officials still talk as if China were both ready and willing to conquer Asia. Is it? Despite its nuclear power and its formidable manpower reserves, China is one of the world's poorer countries (estimated annual per capita income: $100, compared with Japan's $1,100). China's recent Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and the upheaval it caused may put domestic recovery ahead of foreign adventure for some time to come. Even before the Cultural Revolution, China was too weak in air, sea and industrial power...
