...brothers, was a victim of the Establishment. Free and constructive speech, once valued as a privileged medium of criticism, is fast becoming a farcical political device of the haves. With the possibility of four liberal seats being vacated soon, the conservatives are chuckling. God help us if another Taft Era is the result...
...opened up occupations at an unprecedented rate. The computer industry needs a steady flow of systems analysts, programmers and operators. The burgeoning aerospace field needs specialists in aeronomy and the ionosphere, experts in lunar and planetary studies. Even social ills create new careers. All the prodigal wastes of the era demand new experts-in smog and pest control, not to mention sanitation technology. Ecologists maintain a watch on the total environment, noting how change in one area triggers change in others. Ethnologists explore ways of dampening human violence before it becomes hopelessly harnessed to all the lethal weapons available. City...
Shopper's Paradise. Shannon, where the idea of duty-free shops originated in 1952, is close to Schiphol in range and price. It opened in the era of prop planes, when a refueling stop was a must on a transatlantic flight. The jet age brought a temporary drop in Shannon's business, but last year 714,000 passengers passed through, nearly double the number in the peak pre-jet years.

Successor Ludwig Erhard became another steady; the day he succeeded der Alte as Chancellor, Ria sent him a Wedgwood tureen brimful of his favorite split pea soup. Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger, who prefers...
...economy seems headed for its most expansive era yet in the 1970s. That was the message of a study presented last week by Martin Gainsbrugh, chief economist of the National Industrial Conference Board, a private center for business research. Two years in preparation by a dozen of the board's staff economists, the study projects remarkable advances in family income, now averaging $9,300. By the end of the next decade, the typical American household will earn almost $14,000 - in terms of today's prices - and enjoy a 40% increase in the real standard of living...
