...kind of like this world. I think it's great. Entertainment at your fingertips. Kids who grow more loving, not more demanding, every decade. Hope for the once hopelessly ill. Vaccines against emergencies. Insurance against 90% of all hardships. A moving, fluid society which groups and regroups everywhere you go, until you are receiving Christmas cards from every corner of the world...
Skinned Cadavers. The tusk of the full-grown elephant, which can grow up to six feet long and weigh as much as 50 Ibs., was valued on a par with jade and gold by the early Chinese, who carved it into intricate designs and tiny plaques. Cleveland's finely chiseled plaque of Christ with the twelve Apostles, probably intended for a book cover and executed in Germany around A.D. 970, shortly after Otto the Great founded the Holy Roman Empire, is an unusual example that shows how Otto-nian workshops combined early Christian design with Saxon severity. Seven centuries...
...farmers' problem is their masterful man-hour productivity, a 5.7% annual hike since 1950, v. industry's 2.6%.

Since homesteads are not staked out and land records in Brazil are chaotic, ownership, moreover, is often uncertain and difficult to prove. Potential prospectors for mineral wealth have been dismayed...
...recent months, uncertainty over inflation, the Viet Nam war and the possibility of a federal tax increase have prompted consumers to salt away an abnormally high 7% of their disposable income savings. They also have been taking extra pains to stay out of debt; installment credit is expected to grow by only $3.5 billion in 1967 v. $6 billion last year. While such thriftiness has hurt sales up to now, it means over the long run, says one Federal Reserve Board economist, that the average consumer is "in a better position to take on new debt for a color...
