...between. Moreover, foreign investors sharply decreased the money they were willing to risk on primary industries (mining, petroleum, agriculture) necessary to build a foundation for the area's economy. Instead, they switched their emphasis to secondary manufacturing businesses (appliances, automobiles, computers), which are less subject to nationalization or heavier taxation...
...immediate result of the flight was the probable cancellation of a second six-orbit jaunt. The next U.S. astronaut will probably fly 18 orbits early in 1963, staying in space for a full day. This will leave the U.S. still behind the Russians, whose heavier and better provisioned spacecraft have stayed in space for three and four days, but Astronaut Schirra-who is being called by admirers "the first real space pilot''-made a giant step toward catching...
...lady of the house takes over in earnest again on the family range. After a summer of salads, barbecue meats and cold cuts, supermarkets suddenly begin to sell more potatoes, carrots, turnips and stew meats, while small steaks tend to give way in popularity to roasts, ribs and the heavier cuts of meats.

...nearly 450 years ago: build and fly an aircraft powered only by man. The payoff is tempting: a $14,000 prize donated by London Industrialist Henry Kremer, 55.

According to requirements spelled out by the Royal Aeronautical Society, the plane must be launched from ground level; it must be powered and controlled by the crew over the entire flight...
...encourage investment is a thoroughgoing overhaul of the U.S. tax system, which places a heavier burden on investment than in any other industrialized nation in the world. But real tax reform depends largely on responsible fiscal policies and a curb on excessive government spending. The fact is that continued deficits and steadily rising government expenditures make businessmen, both at home and abroad, fearful of the dollar's future. In the U.S. the result is deferred investment; abroad it often takes the form of cashing in dollars for U.S. gold. The U.S. obviously has not yet done enough to solve...
