...economies grow more industrialized, the productivity of their capital can decline-as the Soviets have lately discovered. To raise gross national product by a value of 1,000,000 rubles a year, for example, the Soviets during the 1950s had to make capital investment of 2,000,000 rubles; to achieve the same G.N.P. gains more recently, they have had to invest 3,300,000 rubles. The Communists have been used to raising capital by coercion, holding down wages, deferring consumption, and plowing back the produce of today's labor into plants and machines for tomorrow. But now they...
...years, the U.ST has spent, lent or given away more money than it has taken in from abroad. Compared with the size of the U.S. economy (larger than all of Europe's), that balance of payments deficit seems trivial; it has averaged a mere 0.004% of the gross national product. But the dollars thus placed in foreign hands now total $34 billion, while the U.S. stock of gold has dwindled from a postwar peak of $24.6 billion to $10.4 billion last week, the thinnest gold line since 1936. If all the dollar holders demanded gold at once, there would...
...indeed a very imperceptive article, and was written in the most blatant paternalistic rhetoric. Although Miss Bodian is quite sophisticated in her style of writing, she is very naive and makes gross rationalizations. I too witnessed the insidious effects of a "field day" for white liberals who pursued a missionary impulse. When I was told that there would be a tutorial program with Harvard-Radcliffe and M.I.T., I realized that it was another attempt at acculturation. This in fact was the chief cause of much controversy about the tutorial program at Shaw University...
...only one failure in his 46 pictures (a Hungarian director persuaded him to portray Thomas Jefferson as Richard Nixon might have played him). And he has finally achieved his and every other actor's dream: his contract calls for him to receive exactly 100% of the total gross of his next production...
...Rinkydinks?). When the quartet collides with a Negro cab driver (Godfrey Cambridge), their debate rises to tidal proportions, only to unroil when the cabbie turns out to be a convert to Judaism. The mourners arrive late for the services and giggle derisively as a rabbi (Alan King) intones a gross caricature of a eulogy for the dead-before they finally discover that they have stumbled into the wrong funeral...
