...anxious to resume dividend payments. But one Genesco stockholder who seems pleased by developments is none other than Maxey Jarman. Not long ago, he sent his son a copy of a book on airplanes, inscribed with a kind personal note. In return, Frank Jarman sent him a copy of Futurologist Herman Kahn's optimistic book The Next 200 Years. Says Franklin Jarman: "Time heals everything." Profits help...
...good, but also that the best is yet to come. A soon-to-be-released study commissioned by the Elysée Palace two years ago limns an intoxicating future. France's robust 6% rate of growth will continue, argues the report by the European branch of Futurologist Herman Kahn's Hudson Institute, meaning that by 1985 the country could well capture West Germany's place as the world's fourth strongest economic power (after the U.S., the Soviet Union and Japan). In the meantime, the report predicts that per capita income will rise from...
...Moscow, French economists expect the nation to increase exports from 14% of production now to 19% by 1980. Per capita gross national product ($2,064) is already ahead of West Germany's ($ 1,848).

The result would give Frenchmen the world's fourth largest economy (after the U.S., the U.S.S.R. and Japan...

...apprehension underscored by the errant current lingers. "Our tomorrow is like a large elephant," says Businessman Kazuo Matsuoka, "and we are like blind people trying to figure out its proportions by touch." Tokyo's foremost futurologist, Professor Shinkichi Eto of Tokyo University, believes that he has some idea of the dimensions. Eto's projection: "The most probable course for Japan to follow will be for her to drop the growth rate [from 11.1% in the 1960s] to 5% in the 1970s. That level will be maintained through the '80s and '90s. By the final decade of this century, Japan will...
