...economy, last week ticked off yet another record. It completed 80 consecutive months of expansion, equaling the war-fueled record set between 1939 and 1945, and showed no signs of pausing. Later this month, the nation will pass two other important statistical bench marks. At midmonth, the gross national product will top the $800 billion level; the $1 trillion mark is certain to be reached in the early 1970s. And on Nov. 20, at precisely 11 a.m., the Census Bureau's population clock, which records an additional American every 141 seconds, will register 200 million...
...territory, a sum that disgruntled local U.S. officials like to point out is only a fifth of that targeted for a single Navajo reservation in the U.S. The Micronesians' copra and fishing trade hardly enables them to do much to help themselves: the entire trust territory has a gross national product of about $12 million...
Devaluation was the inevitable answer to chronic economic ills. Last year Finland's gross national product was $8.6 billion, showing a mere 2.2% increase over the previous year, and well down from the average 5% growth rate during 1960-65.

Meanwhile despite restrictive government policies and tight credit, imports remain high and the trade gap is running at $220 million for the second consecutive year. Unemployment has gone...

As a result, the Negro population has turned it upon itself and found its salvation only in the lream of a black community governing the lives of black children, educating black kids in black classrooms under black teachers and headmasters. It is not surprising that this has happened and, in many respects, it is probably just as well. Whether we like it or not, in any event, the time has passed...
...cattleman's Stetson when he turns to the business he enjoys most. With nine ranches that occupy a million acres and support 13,000 cattle and feed lots that can fatten 100,000 at a time, Anderson is one of the largest landowners in the U.S. His annual gross of about $1,500,000 makes him more than a match for such legendary barons as Goodnight or King Ranch Founder Richard King...
