...Teamster Gross. Since the strikeborn substitutes were unable to employ the total 1,000-man Teamster work force at the increased rates the strikers were demanding, the union simply shut them all down by refusing to make deliveries. Not that some Teamsters fared too badly while they lasted. A state senate investigating committee discovered that seven Teamsters had grossed about $300,000 during the eight weeks they operated a distributing company to circulate the Daily Express. It was also confirmed that other Teamsters had made arrangements to publish the Dispatch before the strike had begun, a situation that Michigan Senator...
Zavelle predicted the Coop will gross about $15.5 million in sales this year, an increase of 10 per cent over last year's $14.1 million. The gross next year, he said, will reach $16.5 to $17 million. This is the figure that Morrill said last September would justify a raise in the rebate...

The Maharishi, 56, has attracted his guests by offering something like instant nirvana; by meditating for just an hour or so a day according to his methods, he says, anyone may transcend "the gross state of thought" to find deeper wisdom. What is more, the Maharishi offers to bring the blessings of wisdom to the faithful "without their having to renounce their way of life"-a comfortable tenet rarely offered by holy men or prophets...
...Johnson Administration seems not in the least worried by the prospect of a mild downturn. Rather, it is almost obsessed about the danger of runaway inflation. For all of 1968, President Johnson's Council of Economic Advisers foresees a record gross national product of some $846 billion, an increase of more than 7.8% over last year's G.N.P. Of that, real growth is expected to be a healthy 4%-with inflation accounting for the difference...
