Meanwhile, to keep demand up, the Government has created money and credit at far faster rates than businessmen can turn out products and services.

Largely because of the rapid expansion of money, the average household income is more than twice as much as it was ten years ago, or $16,100. Yet because of inflation, real purchasing power is up only 11%, and for millions of Americans it is now only the second income...
RUDIGER DORNBUSCH, 37.

...itself about the special quiet it has enjoyed ever since the late Boss Ed Crump banned auto horns. Apalachicola, Fla.? The oyster is its world. Hope, Ark.? The watermelon is its. If some places-Podunk, Peoria and Kalamazoo as well as New Jersey -take unexpected pride in being the classic butt of vaudeville jokes, others seem to get a chauvinistic glow from the fact that they resemble a distant locale. Birmingham, Ala., for instance, has long saluted itself as the "Pittsburgh of the South...
