Simple Uncle Sap-ism? No; other new attitudes, drawn from two decades of experience, have clarified the giver-getter relationship. Only the naive among the givers expect lavish thanks; only the naive among the getters darkly suspect concealed U.S. motives. The U.S. now knows that arm twisting by withdrawing aid rarely works-and it usually knows better than to let foreign governments attempt aid-or-else blackmail. Moreover, the U.S. has backed away from any grandiose dreams of remaking the world; receiving nations nonetheless candidly want a large helping of U.S. machines, techniques and comforts...
Roadblocks. The government has managed to throw up 120 reception centers and camps this year, now operates 190, but can send supplies to many of them only by helicopters, which must pass over V.C. territory. Communication is unreliable, records hopelessly snarled, and Saigon never knows what to expect next. Driven from their homes by everything from full-scale battles to the threat of government bombardment or V.C. reprisal, new waves of refugees are liable to turn up in any province at any time. Indeed, so confused is the situation that the USOM last week dispatched three teams of American specialists...

He cried when they gave him a diamond-studded medal and the winner's check of $25,-000. "Some guys expect to win," he said. "But I never knew that I could...
...word in Washington last week−the changes make the statistics more useful than ever because they will enable companies to gear their production and sales effort more closely to how the U.S. economy is really performing. For U.S. workers they could even mean higher pay; some analysts expect that the higher G.N.P. may allow an increase in the Administration's wage guideposts from the present 3.2% to'3.3% or even 3.4% a year. In any case, the Government's economists were not alone in underestimating the vitality of the U.S. economy. Even the most bullish private...
