Without comment, Curtis Publishing Co. last week released some statistical bad news: its nine-month report. The figures showed that through September, Curtis had an operating loss of $8,000,000-a deficit substantial enough to assure the publishing house its fourth straight year in the red. To add to its troubles, there is the editorial rebellion that for more than a month has occupied the attention of the Curtis board...
Wilson's first big decision in office was as bold as it was desperate. In an urgent attempt to close Britain's critical trade deficit, he abruptly decreed an extraordinary 15% tax on imports, doubling Britain's tariffs overnight (see WORLD BUSINESS). Though Whitehall insisted that the tax was only a stop-gap measure, Britain's trading partners throughout the world protested that it was a backward-looking move that might jeopardize years of patient progress toward lower tariffs. Wilson's rebuttal was contained in his next major policy pronouncement, a detailed White Paper emphasizing...

Neighboring Portugal, the newest "in" place for international travelers, reported a 50% increase in tourism, to $112 million...

Romney refused to don "the Goldwater albatross," concentrated on his record (he turned Michigan's chronic deficit into a $57.1 million surplus), thus did even better in Detroit's Democratic Wayne County than he had two years ago. In doing so, the canny car builder denied a ride on Lyndon's coattails to Democratic Congressman Neil Staeb'er (who was held to about 53% of the Wayne County vote, v. Johnson's 71%). It was enough to let Romney ramble, and he may yet ramble a lot further. Other key gubernatorial races: > >Republican Daniel Jackson...
