...Russians do need the men in factories and on the farms, and admit it frankly. The Soviet economy is expanding. One British economist has estimated that Russia, which is out to match present U.S. production by 1963, will by then be "the industrial giant of the Eurasian land mass." Russia's manpower need is acute because of the low birth rate during the war, which is just beginning to be felt in the recruiting of 16-year-olds. By 1958 there will be only an estimated 800,000 boys and girls entering Russia's work force...
...Eduard Heimann of New York City, economist, of Jewish parentage: "The Episcopal Church and her mother Church have been uniquely blessed in not having at their origin an overpowering religious genius of the Aquinas or Luther or Calvin types. Without their creativity the Episcopal Church would certainly not be what she is, but under their absolute claims she could never have developed her own sense of humility, moderation, and balance . . .

He joined the (New York) City Bank Farmers Trust Co. as an economist, shifted to National City as a bond expert, and in 1942 transferred to the New York Trust Co., where he has been since, except for a World War II hitch as a Navy lieutenant. Hayes lives in New Canaan, Conn, with his wife and two children...
...days that failed to shake the world," the London Economist called it. The visitors had not made off with the heart of the British common man-something Khrushchev had badly wanted to take home as another trophy from his diplomatic safaris. Through most of the visit, B. & K. remained remote and formidable figures in big black cars behind a 21-motorcycle escort (a sight hitherto unknown in Britain), but they soon sensed in the public's cool reserve that they were not being officiously sealed off from the kind of hysterical triumph they had scored in India...
