...think that the statement, "Any time spent beyond 25 hours of weekly viewing is regarded as a sign of emotional disturbance," to be a gross misinterpretation of research on TV viewing. I have seen no evidence to support this argument; in fact, the data seem to show that many highly intelligent and creative individuals, both children and adults, watch TV to degrees that the TIME article would find "excessive." Excessive anything-smoking, drinking, pogo-stick jumping-can be indicative of personal problems. Excessive TV viewing may also be indicative of great interest, and serves as the greatest educator since...
...pace quickened so much that interest rates, retail and wholesale prices and other indices were in danger of spiraling out of control by year's end. The momentum is carrying over into 1968, with heavy auto and steel production pacing an expected surge of $20 billion in the gross national product during the first quarter-an alltime record...

Unavoidable injections of extra dollars into the economy, such as higher federal pay scales and social security benefits, are virtually certain to boost consumer spending this year.

If a participant in the program borrowed $6000 and earned $10,000 each year after graduating, he would pay the Bank $200 a year, for a total of $6000 at the end of the period. Most students would probably pay the Bank more than they had been loaned, but anyone who earned a high salary quickly and felt that he would lose...
...Hallmark. IHI is about to be come the world's No. 1 shipbuilder, a title that eluded it last year when another Japanese firm, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, topped IHI's 1,600,000-gross-ton production by almost 100,000 tons. By absorbing Kure, a smaller shipbuilder near Hiroshima, next April, IHI will boost launchings to over 1,800,000 tons. Total sales for the fiscal year 1967 are estimated at $530 million, up from $484 million in fiscal 1966. Only about half is brought in by the ships; the rest comes from a wide range of heavy...
