Sociologists are further disturbed by the FBI's "index crimes" - murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and auto theft, which are usually lumped together in determining whether U.S. crime is rising. The index is misleading, charges Professor Robison, because "less serious crimes account for approximately 85% of the total arrests." Critics of the statistics also question FBI indications that murder is rampant in the streets. In the fine print, the 1964 FBI report itself noted that 80% of U.S. murders are committed indoors by the victim's friends or relatives...

...Second Vatican Council has since abolished the index, but that does not mean the hierarchy has stopped discouraging books it does not like, especially those written by priests. Though the Holy Office has been renamed Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, conservative Cardinal Ottaviani remains in command, and he can still induce bishops to withhold the imprimatur-or church seal of approval-from books touching on theology and ethics.

The Big Board's new flattened-out index (TIME, July 22) slipped one point to 45.29, or 2%. The Dow-Jones rail average also hit a 1966 low of 220.26, a fact that immediately led some pessimists to recall a Wall Street adage to the effect that when industrials and rails establish new lows in tandem...
There was cause for concern. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the swiftest six-month cost-of-living increase since 1958. Capped by a gain of 0.3% for June, the consumer price index climbed 1.7% in the first half of the year to 112.9% of the 1957-59 average. For the twelve months ending in June, the rise was a hefty 21% . Industrial production and personal income also climbed to record levels in June...
