...while good defensive play can sometimes inspire a team, nothing lets it down faster than a score on a goalie's mistake. It's hard also for a goalie to jump up after a goal with the 'C'mon guys let's get it back' spirit a captain should supply...
While U.S. employers have reason to complain about soaring labor costs, the fact is that wages have been rising much faster in other major nations, notably those of Western Europe. Between the 1958 start of the Common Market and 1965, U.S. workers' pretax wages went up 14%. During that seven-year period, pretax wages jumped 25% in Italy, 29% in France, 40% in Denmark, 41% in The Netherlands, and 53% in West Germany...
...Ludwig Erhard's stock has been going down faster than any glamor issue on the Big Board. Climbing living costs have tarnished his image as the creator of West Germany's economic miracle.

Even his special relationship with the U.S. was called into question after he came away from a Washington visit in September without a promise from Lyndon Johnson to reduce the amount...
...population onto 2% of its land-an astounding change for a nation so recently rural. Hand in hand with this transformation has been the extraordinary spread of the auto: the U.S. auto population has tripled to 90 million in 20 years, is now growing eight times faster than the human population.

One reason is their recent hefty gains in air freight, now increasing one-third faster than passenger travel and promising to pass it as a source of income by 1975. Whether the airlines will have enough terminal facilities for all that business is another matter. Travelers already grumble at ticketing and baggage delays, and tomorrow's jumbo jets will require vast new ground installations that municipal airport...
