Scarce and costly credit has curbed not only housebuilding, but also corporate expansion, the principal base of the long economic advance. Construction starts of new factories slipped by $500 million, or 61% , in the latest count, which covers the first quarter of the year. Between January and March the gross national product rose by a worrisome $17 billion, which would work out to 91% a year; during the second quarter, it climbed by a less inflationary $10 billion, or 5.5% a year.

In the years since, they have collaborated on recordings, several Jackie Gleason specials, a gross of TV commercials (Ford, Esso, Chesterfield) and are currently working on a musical. But they have never lost their love for nightclubs, especially since they command up to $20,000 for an act. The important thing, as Duddy says, is "being inspired by the personality we work...
Back in Edinburgh, having once more "catched a Tartar" in a "mansion of gross sensuality," he published a long theatrical review (signed "A Genius") and a volume of atrocious verse. At 22, though he had four liaisons running concurrently, not to mention the trulls he slept with in teams, he found time and energy to start his journal...
