Once again that modern miracle-the capitalist, citizen-controlled U.S. economy -confounded the doubters. Only a few months ago President Kennedy had uttered bleak warnings of recession. Academicians and government brain-trusters talked worriedly of "high-level stagnation." When the economy got bouncy late last year, they said it was only a "last gasp." Some gasp. As of last week, almost all indicators were still on the rise-and the surge had very little help from government...
Cliches prove such sturdy soldiers that they die hard. Now that "high-level stagnation," used to describe the recent listlessness of the U.S. economy, no longer fits, a Manhattan economist has diagnosed "high-level stagnation with an upward trend."

Of dozens of businessmen interviewed across the U.S. last week by TIME correspondents, the great majority look forward to slowly rising business activity this year-or, at the worst, a plateau of high-level prosperity. In contrast to President Kennedy's warning about a possible recession unless a tax cut passes Congress, few are seriously worried about a recession. In fact, few think a tax cut would do them very much good for some time, and they are not counting...
...Although high-level White House sources would not definitely confirm plans for the trip yesterday, no one denied that the President wants to attend the last meeting of his term as an Overseer...
