Sweden is either miracle or mirage. In summer, all 173,423 sq. mi. of it seem to be filled with dimpled, unattached blondes. In fact, only 40% of Sweden's 3,700,000 women are blondes. The country also lacks such other vital resources as coal, oil and fertile farmland. Like the other Scandinavian countries, Sweden must export to survive.

The older appliances are wonders to behold. But the plastic man's life gets duller as it progresses...
...world has gone to pot. There was a time when the very least that a baseball fan could count on was that New York - or Brooklyn, anyway -would win the National League pennant, and the Philadelphia Phillies would wind up shoveling coal in the cellar. The Polo Grounds is a gutted steel skeleton now; Ebbets Field is apartment houses. And last week the Phillies were leading the league...
