NATIONS are like people: no matter how much money they have, they never seem to have enough. Today the world has more capital funds for investment than ever be fore. Yet there is disturbing evidence that capital is not being created fast enough to meet the rising volume of legitimate needs. Capital is scarce and costly almost every where, and the global shortage will worsen unless two basic remedial steps are taken. First, ways must be found to develop more funds.

...years since W. C. Handy midwifed the blues, his city of Memphis has been a passable paradigm of racial harmony and a pathfinder of Negro progress. Memphis schools are integrated. Its black citizens have voted since the early 1900s. Its white and black lawyers have been in the fore front of civil rights campaigns. So amicable has its climate been that Memphis police have never faced a serious charge of brutality.

Aside from souped-up performance, the new houseboats continue to offer boating enthusiasts the maximum amount of space for the least money, with roomy galleys, "patios" fore and aft, and large sundecks on top. "It's almost like living in a Florida home," says Chris-Craft Sales Promotion Manager C. G. Houser. It's also great for parties. Brigadier General William Shedd, deputy director of operations of the Pentagon's National Military Command Center, uses his 34-ft. houseboat (appropriately christened the Outhouse) for entertaining afloat on the Potomac, with the number of guests limited only...
