Even when Heath attacked Wilson, he ran into trouble. Addressing a Conservative rally at Wembley last week, he called Wilson's record "the Rake's Progress" and his economic forecast "hooey" and "complacent nonsense." The British are not used to such harsh, direct attacks on their politicians, and Heath's blast prompted that unorthodox but stoutly Tory peer Lord Boothby to come to Wilson's defense. Boothby rose in the House of Lords and, in ironic tones, took note of Wilson's ability to recover. "The Prime Minister may not walk on the water today...
...physician and no machine can forecast with certainty whether a man will have a heart attack, or when. Until such prevision becomes possible, doctors must rely heavily on the electrocardiograph, which, although not much of a predictor, is a smart detective. It can usually reveal whether a heart has been damaged, and with these clues the cardiologist can prescribe care and treatment for patients who seem to run the greatest risks of heart attacks. Yet the electrocardiograph has identified only a fraction of the nation's ailing hearts...

Our own race, which got off to a bad start with Adam, is the fifth, and it too may be about to expire-or perhaps find strange new powers. In her magically mystical prose, H.P.B. forecast that "occultism must win the day, before the present era reaches Saturn's triple septenary of the present cycle in Europe-in other words, before the end of the 21st century...
...Wall Street has already exceeded the 10 million-share days that only four years ago were forecast for 1975, is plagued by late tapes, overburdened facilities and overworked staffs. To catch up with the paperwork, stock exchanges now close one day a week, a condition that will probably continue at least through July...
...Sure, we badly underestimated our growth factor," admits Deputy General Manager Robert C. Davidson. "But no one could accurately forecast the fantastic growth that air travel has experienced in the past six years." He has a point. In 1959, the first full year of commercial jet travel, 51 million domestic passengers boarded planes in U.S. airports. Less than ten years later, the total has more than doubled, to 115 million. Predictions-which will probably fall short of the mark-are that 280 million people will be flying in 1975 Airport congestion will thereby increase even more unless something is done...
