...born, and they will tend, even at the present rate of interracial mating, to diffuse into the white population. The loss by "passing" of light-skinned individuals may leave the rest of the Negroes darker, on the average, than they are at present. On the other hand, an inflow of European genes may balance the loss and further dilute the Negro population...

Britain, which had to devalue its currency in 1949 to encourage the inflow of dollars, has decided that dollars are no longer needed so badly. Last fortnight the Bank of England put an end to a special inducement for foreign capital by cutting the discount rate (at which it lends money to private banks) from a relatively high 3½% to 3%. Last week West Germany's central bank followed suit. The effect was to reduce the interest that dollars (and other currencies) can earn by going abroad. At the same time, the cut meant lower interest rates...

...Ocean, flowing into it through turbines, would generate as much electricity per day as 200,000 tons of coal. The biggest such project is damming the Mediterranean at the Strait of Gibraltar. In a century its level would fall 330 ft., exposing 90,000 square miles of new land. Inflow from the Atlantic could then generate power, but other effects might be even more interesting.

...another. With water-happy householders emptying an estimated 500,000 tubfuls down the drain the first day, the capital's ancient and decrepit drainage system broke down. To make things worse, heavy rains flooded the streets. By week's end, engineers were forced to cut the inflow of the new water by a third. They probably will hold it at the reduced level till the drainage system can be overhauled-at an estimated $60 million, more than twice the cost of the entire Lerma project...
