Going Nowhere. The towns most vulnerable to devastating declines are those that, like Niland, depend upon a single basic source of income. The classic case is the mining community whose veins of ore play out. Although Arizona is booming, and the population of Phoenix has quadrupled during the past ten years, at the edge of the once bustling Arizona copper town of Jerome* stands a sign proclaiming it a ghost town...
...supply its needs for many years to come, and has practically no oil of its own beyond minor deposits along the North Sea coast. It hopes to increase its natural gas supplies until they can supply 6% of the power market by 1970, but for oil, it must depend indefinitely on the outside. To keep their oil supply as cheap as possible, Europeans try to pit one oil-producing nation against another, and vary their sources of supply. In 1962, the Common Market area bought 92.6 million tons of oil from the Middle East, 12 million tons from the Western...
Predictably, the hardest-hit are the businesses that depend heavily on newspaper ads to lure their customers. At a time when most of the U.S. is setting new monthly retail records, New York department-store sales were off 8% from last year in the four-week period after Christmas, and Cleveland stores barely managed to hold their own by pouring their advertising into neighborhood papers. Stores desperately seek new means of getting word to potential customers; for $750 a day, Manhattan's S.

...absence of newspapers is affecting businessmen who never advertise and never thought they depended on newspapers. Parking garages, restaurants, stationery and record shops all miss the patronage of the suburbanites usually drawn into the city for a day by the ads of the big department stores and theaters. New York florists complain that they are losing trade because a public without obituaries and sailing notices does not know when to send flowers. Hotel rentals of banquet halls to wedding parties have fallen sharply because there are no engagement announcements to alert them to prospects. The lack of job promotion news...
...least half the buildings on which we now depend - including, for example, the majority of the Undergraduate Houses, the whole of the Business School, virtually all of the laboratories for science north of the Yard - did not exist in 1924. Mr. Lowell began to appeal for new quarters for the Department of Chemistry as early as 1916, but in 1924 this department was still endeavoring to make do in the ancient Boylston Hall. The biologists were sandwiched at that time into the University Museum which today cannot even provide adequately for its own basic activities...
