...compared with the too-swift expansion of $58 billion (51%) last year. Anything more than 4%, the council says, would surpass the nation's capacity in both plant and manpower. The trick, of course, is to keep the slowdown from going too far and prices from rising too fast. Last week banks began lowering the prime rate of interest, giving important evidence that the Administration's prediction of easier credit had foundation (see U.S. BUSINESS).

...that great sewer in the sky costs them dearly-$11 billion a year in property damage alone, according to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Air pollutants abrade, corrode, tarnish, soil, erode, crack, weaken and discolor materials of all varieties. Steel corrodes from two to four times as fast in urban and indus trial regions as in rural areas, where much less sulphur-bearing coal and oil are burned.

...illegitimate babies are colored. The average waiting period for a white adopted child varies from five to nine months in Los Angeles to one year or more in New York; but any white couple willing to take a Negro or Indian child is likely to have it arrive so fast that they do not even have time for one last night on the town without a baby sitter.
