...federal debt is actually not growing very fast. In the past decade, while consumer debt has more than doubled and corporate debt has jumped 360%, Federal Government debt has gone up only 15%. And because the federal debt is rising much more slowly than the U.S. population, the per capita federal debt has declined in the past 20 years from $1,900 to $1,600-meaning that Americans are by no means saddling their grandchildren with an unbearable load...
...Haiti's 4,500,000 people, 90% are illiterate. Life expectancy is 32.6 years; per-capita income has slipped to $70 a year, lowest in the hemisphere. "Haitians," says Duvalier in his soft whisper, "have a destiny to suffer." And if his people complain, they can pray?from a 63-page Catechism of the Revolution turned out by the Government Printing Office and circulating last week in Port-au-Prince.

French, U.S., West German and Italian money is providing Morocco with everything from dyeing and shoemaking plants to Caravelle jetliners to chemical, electrical and arms factories. Despite outside help, a sharp economic decline over the past eight months has cost 100,000 Casablancans their jobs, bringing the city's total unemployment up to 400,000. That brought the total of jobless Moroccans to nearly...
This ability to make the most of everything has nearly tripled the country's per-capita income in the past dozen years-to $1,175-and has given Austria a growth rate second only to West Germany's in Europe. It also gives the government a certain confidence that it can come to terms with the Common Market members at Brussels...
