...less striking was the similarity of viewpoint, for Quadros also obviously viewed his job as that of a young man called in to solve a grave national crisis. In his inaugural speech, Brazil's new chief made no bones about his belief that outgoing President Juscelino Kubitschek had brought Brazil to the brink of economic collapse. The nation faced a "terrible financial situation," said Quadros. For all the great dams, roads and factories, Kubitschek's government had run the foreign debt to $3.8 billion, with $600 million due this year. Kubitschek's final budget called...
...Hour Watch. But at the next hearing the aroused West Covinians scored. They arrived in funereal black Cadillacs, carried placards reading "Land of the Free or Home of the Grave?", "Drop Dead Elsewhere," "Happy Sites, Not Sad Rites" and "Don't Let the Plots Thicken...
Scotty is all too shortly a puppy in love. As he did in his first book, Lost Slimmer, Novelist Davis, 32, beautifully captures the long, grave dialogues on the borders of teenhood, the spasms of physical wildness, the sudden paroxysms of laughter.

...unemployment situation is very grave." With these words, Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg last week voiced the new Administration's concern about its biggest domestic problem. The Labor Department announced that the number of workers drawing insured unemployment benefits rose by 228,900 in January's first week to reach 3,300,000, or 8.1% of all those covered and just short of a record number for the 24-year-old compensation plan. Since insured unemployment figures usually preview total unemployment figures (two-thirds of the labor force is protected by unemployment compensation), the Labor Department now figures...
