...producing only bowling and billiard equipment into one of the fastest-growing U.S. companies-with a line of products ranging from hospital beds to motorboats. Sales have risen from $33 million to $275 million last year; earnings from $692,000 to $26.8 million. Sales for 1960 are expected to exceed $350 million. Reflecting the rise, Brunswick's stock has increased in value 27-fold...
...despite the bosses' roadblocks, Thompson's raiders have done a good job. Some 140,000 new Spanish-speaking Democrats have been registered in California through the Viva Kennedy Clubs. In Baltimore, Thompson's pilot city, 7,000 "unsuspected Democrats" have been uncovered. In Pennsylvania, registered Democrats exceed Republicans, 2,851,000 to 2,812,000, for the first time in recent years. Tabulating the national returns last week, Bobby Kennedy gleefully noted that 8.500,000 new voters (65% Democratic) had registered already, and the hoped-for goal of 10 million may be reached by mid-October, when...
...financing a shipment of Calcutta opium to Hong Kong or buying off Chinese Communist officials who have put the squeeze on the relatives of rich overseas Chinese businessmen. But the final market is most often India. Indian central bank officials estimate that India's private gold holdings exceed $3.6 billion (at the U.S. gold rate), up from $3.2 billion in 1948.

Another cheery note for 1960's second half is international trade. The National Foreign Trade Council forecast that U.S. exports (excluding military aid shipments) will exceed imports by $3.4 billion by the end of the year. During 1959 the surplus was just under $1 billion. Aided in particular by foreign sales of commercial aircraft, and of copper and iron and steel products, exports in 1960 are expected to total $18.8 billion, against imports of $15.4 billion. This export surplus will help the U.S.'s balance of payments, and the U.S. trade deficit is expected to drop from...
...conceded that in places a third of the winter wheat was destroyed and would need to be replanted for even a partial harvest. Western agricultural intelligence sources estimated that even with excellent weather conditions for the rest of the year, Russia's 1960 grain harvest is unlikely to exceed last year's 124,800,000 tons (which was down from 1958's record 141,200,000), and might go as low as no million tons...
