...built, poor-mouth operation. No more. Business has more than tripled since 1956, and this year is running 16% ahead of last. Piggybacking now accounts for 3% of all loadings on U.S. railroads - and, more significantly, contributes 5% of revenues. With the help of such new equipment as triple-deck cars that carry 18 new automobiles, railroads are recovering much of the business they lost to the truckers; 25% of all new cars now move out of U.S. assembly plants by rail v. only 8% just two years...

...China is an old, crazy, first-rate manofwar, which a fortunate succession of able and vigilant officers has contrived to keep afloat for these 150 years past, and to overawe their neighbors merely by her bulk and appearance; but whenever an insufficient man happens to have the command upon deck, adieu to the discipline and safety of the ship. She may perhaps not sink outright; she may drift some time as a wreck, and will then be dashed to pieces on the shore; but she can never be rebuilt on the old bottom...
