...finally hired on with Lockheed in 1939 as a $275-a-month production specialist. Lockheed has since come to soar, and so has Dan Haughton. He became Lockheed's executive vice president in 1956, rose to president in 1961, last week was named to succeed Courtlandt S. Gross as chairman of the board...
...sang the soprano aria, and all the men sang the tenor-bass duet, for no apparent reason. Part of the function of these solos is to break up the homogeneity of the choral sound, and though the chorus sang lightly and clearly enough to prevent their sounding rough or gross, the listener missed the delicate sound of individual voices singing ornate lines clearly intended for solo performance...
Growing Investment. As the world's fifth-ranking industrial power (behind the U.S., Russia, West Germany and Britain), Japan is far and away the richest nation in Asia. Its 1966 gross national product of $100 billion represented a steady 10% annual growth that has varied little since 1950.

Stridency or Magnanimity? Indeed, it is oversimplification that destroys this elegantly written and highly provocative book. There are plenty of real faults in U.S. policy to attack, but Fulbright spends more of his time attacking a gross caricature of U.S. policy.

Fulbright argues convincingly that Communism is no longer entirely evil-but that is a fact most Americans grasped nearly a decade ago. He glooms on and on about the high moral and material cost of the Southeast Asian...
...report forecasts a slowdown in the growth of the gross national product to about $47 billion, or 4% in stable dollars, compared with the too-swift expansion of $58 billion (51%) last year. Anything more than 4%, the council says, would surpass the nation's capacity in both plant and manpower. The trick, of course, is to keep the slowdown from going too far and prices from rising too fast. Last week banks began lowering the prime rate of interest, giving important evidence that the Administration's prediction of easier credit had foundation (see U.S. BUSINESS). Housing...
