...Road Ahead. At the beginning of 1957, businessmen and economists were unanimous about the outlook: the first six months would be great, but then there might be trouble.

Will the first-half softening lead to price cuts in key industries? The answer seems to be no. Few industries, as demand eased, were talking...
...Neat Meat. A new method of packaging frozen meat so that it can be kept for a year or refrozen after defrosting is being introduced by Wrigley supermarkets of Detroit.'

Ultrasound, at a frequency of 980,000 cycles per second, shot through intervening brain tissues but not in sufficient intensity...
