...Collins would be completed, but the emphasis in future would be shifted from big downtown building schemes to less visible, but no less important, housing and neighborhood-improvement programs. As proof of his efforts, he announced this month that he had persuaded Boston banks, insurance companies and industries to invest $56 million in depressed neighborhoods. Some $50 million will be in loans to finance rehabilitation and construction of low-income housing units, while the remaining $6,000,000 will be seed money to encourage poor people to set up their own businesses...

Possibly in a generation, polls may lead to instant national referendums. Every voter would have a small electronic box with "yes" and "no" buttons.

Weyerhaeuser will invest more than $3,000,000 in its first venture in home building, and split profits with Brown & Kauffmann. Most of the money is to be borrowed from Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. at a rate (71%) well below that which the home-building firm might itself have had to pay.

...time, Ben Sack was primarily involved with a copper and smelting plant. In 1949, he was again offered the chance to invest in a movie house. Again he accepted. This time it looked even rougher. The theatre, which had to be refurbished and reopened, was located in Fitchburg, a factory town of 43,000. It had only one competitor, an already successful operation right next door.
