Reed has been playing it tough since his earliest days in Bernice, La., a tiny (pop. 1,641) farm community 250 miles north of New Orleans. As he recalls, "I hauled wheat, picked cotton, carried watermelons, anything to make a buck." He was named to all-state teams in both football and basketball, and set a school record in the shot put.

...Government forecasters figure that the high pressures in the money market are finally beginning to reduce demand and, in turn, production. Economic growth, now only 2% at an annual rate, will stay below normal well into 1970. Prices, however, seem unlikely to level off until next year at the earliest. Recession probability: zero this month, but increasing in the months ahead. Winds are changeable, and the overall climate continues to be highly erratic...
