...tinder of trouble had been piled higher than anyone knew. The suspicions reflected by the editorials were joined, in the minds of Taipei's Chinese, with the accumulated frustrations of seven years of exile and political uncertainty, and by a general but seldom articulated feeling of irritation and resentment against the better-paid, better-clad and better-housed Americans (and other foreigners) in the capital...
...more than in the case of oil. Argentina has reserves estimated at 882 million bbl., yet last year it paid out $220 million, a sum greater than its foreign-trade loss, to import oil from Venezuela and elsewhere. The Suez crisis cost the country a cruel $100 million in higher crude prices and freights. Foreign oil companies would get the oil out of the ground or spend millions in Argentina trying. Instead, oil-is-ours nationalism assigns petroleum development to the capital-short, bureaucratic Y.P.F...
...Pavlovian view that the brain and nervous system are something "which man shares with the dog and other animals."

...Chicago retailer: "Today there is no greater value than a television set. I'm selling sets for less than I think I can replace them for in six days." Throughout the industry, business was picking up. Magnavox, in a strong position because of its policy of sticking to higher-priced table models and consoles, reported its first-quarter unit sales were up and 20% over last year. G.E. had trimmed its line of portables from nine to six, table models from seven to six, and beefed up its higher-priced console models from eight to 13. In the rising...
Some experts in the Agriculture Department believe that without the bank wheat production would be far higher, especially with rains in the old dust-bowl area. But the truth is that any surplus production avoided in wheat is turning up in rye, oats, grain sorghums or other crops, as farmers put their idle acreage into uncontrolled crops. One thing the soil bank once more proved was that, barring police-state controls, farmers will always outsmart bureaucrats. This year, for example, most farmers gave the soil bank their poorest acres, keeping their best for their price-supported crops. This was legal...
