...finding out what happened and making it clear; but, inevitably, we must also face the question of what will happen next. We do so by the stories we select, the details we emphasize, the speculation we report, the directions in which we point, as well as by outright forecast. Everyone on our staff recalls his own favorite prediction, be it the precise forecast of the end of the American retreat in Korea, or Ike's nomination in 1952, or the uneasy suggestion that the overthrow of Diem's regime in South Viet Nam would only lead to other...
...form of forecast that is perhaps most important of all involves the early spotting of comers. When TIME ran Cassius Marcellus Clay on its cover just about a year ago, we did not exactly predict that he would win the heavyweight championship.

This past Christmas, for example, Hugo told the world that by 1972 all Negroes can have...
Toward Full Potential. Looking ahead, the report predicted for 1964 "a significant acceleration in the growth of output" and a G.N.P. that could go as high as $628 billion. But it warned that its forecast was based on quick congressional passage of the Administration's $11 billion income tax cut. Even a month's delay could reduce the G.N.P. gain by $2 billion...
