...than a million jobs have disappeared in U.S. industry, and another million in agriculture. In such heavy-employment industries as automaking and steel, automation and technological improvements permit more production with fewer men. Other industries, such as mining, transportation and textiles, which once employed great numbers of workers, have fallen into a relentless, long-term decline. Employment has been growing in the service trades, in white-collar jobs, in finance, insurance, real estate and state and local government. But many who lost out in the factory have been unable or unwilling to make the switchover. The main groups caught...
Lord Kindersley ordered an immediate cutback in Rolls production. The company does not like to stockpile its cars, and the waiting time on delivery of a Rolls Silver Cloud has lately fallen from a year to four months or less. Since foreign sales still account for half the 2,400 Rolls and Bentley cars produced each year, the Rolls seemed unlikely to disappear immediately-and even if it did, Rolls-Royce, Ltd. would survive on its aeroengine business, which now accounts for 85% of the company's sales.

Nor was he surprised to learn later that the poem had been ghosted by a Fleet Street colleague. Throughout the war, the Express maintained a deliberately manic mood: THE FLEET'S HERE-it screamed...
...April 27, 1945. The first half of the film expounds the character and background of the boys with a warmth and sensitivity that soon makes the moviegoer care very much what happens to them. Jürgen, son of a rich landowner, is passionately proud of a father fallen for the Fatherland and boyishly eager to inherit his epaulets. Walter is a bit of a bully who takes after his boodle-grabbing, dirndl-lifting father, the local Nazi Kreisleiter, but even so is devoted to his devoted mother. Karl, son of the town's beauty-parlor proprietor...
