...businessmen did not wait for the Federal Government. They organized themselves into the Citizens Council on City Planning. Bacon and Architect Oscar Stonorov mounted an elaborate display of their notions for reconverting downtown Philadelphia in a complete-scale model with animated parts. The exhibit drew 385,000 people when put on display at a downtown department store. Bacon personally visited 13 public schools and encouraged schoolchildren to work up models of how they would like their local district to look. Result was a climate of enthusiasm for improvement and change that ranged through the whole community, from self-interested businessman...

Japan ranks as the biggest customer, followed by Canada and Britain. As West Germany's biggest agricultural supplier, the U.S. ships not only...
Crime & Comedy. Formed in 1936 by devout Methodist J. Arthur Rank to make and exhibit wholesome family films, Rank faced a postwar crisis that sprang from a double source. For one, the British government in 1948 revoked prohibitive duties on foreign movies, and a stream of U.S. crime and comedy films quickly cascaded in. More important, as in the U.S., audiences in Britain deserted to TV. From a 1946 peak of 1.6 billion, British moviegoers dwindled to 400 million in 1963.
