While TIME is not in the predicting business, many of our stories look toward the future. It seems worth noting that our Essay "The Dollar Is Not as Bad as Gold" (Jan. 12), said that President and Congress would soon remove the 25% gold cover for U.S. currency - and it happened two months later. This week's cover story, written by Gurney Breckenfeld, researched by Kathleen Cooil and edited by Champ Clark, not only tells what is going on but also looks into the future at what might happen in the months and years to come...

Faint Praise. At an unscheduled press conference, Johnson made much of the fact that his decision had been endorsed by Robert McNamara. He pulled from his pocket a rumpled piece of paper bearing, he said, McNamara's handwritten "alternatives" and "recommendations" and dated Jan. 19-more than a week before the Viet Cong's murderous Tet offensive. Thus did the President bring back the commander of the third greatest overseas force in American history, faint-praising him as "a very talented and very able officer." Westmoreland, it was clear, was no longer an unalloyed political asset...

Long before the "Harlem Renaissance" of the '20s Negroes had poets and writers, while black doctors, scientists and inventors made important contributions to post-Civil War technological advances. Jan Ernst Matzeliger, a native of Dutch Guiana, laid the foundations of the shoe in dustry with his shoe-lasting machine, Norbert Rillieux greatly lowered the price of sugar with a new refining technique, and Garrett Morgan introduced a number of life-saving devices, not least of which was the traffic signal. George Washington Carver, of course, transformed Southern agriculture by discovering scores of new uses-from peanut butter...

...well over two years, under the Highway Beautification Act of 1965, to sign agreements with 14 of the 50 states prohibiting billboards within 660 feet of interstate highways. But last week granite-hilled Vermont, by a senate vote of 20 to 9, sent along legislation to the Governor that Jan. 1, 1970, will allow that state to banish all billboards from its roads both big and small, except for signs on property owned by the advertiser. Vermont thus became only the second state to legislate comprehensive control over billboards. The other: Hawaii which has banned them since 1927 when...

...recent times, only eight of the world's 120 currencies (those of the U.S., Cuba, Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Liberia, Panama and El Salvador) have survived the 23 years since the end of World War II without a formal devaluation, according to Manhattan Currency Expert Franz Pick. Since Jan. 1, 1949, Chile has devalued 46 times, Brazil 32, Uruguay 18, South Korea 17. The U.S.S.R. has sliced the value of its ruble three times since World War II - not because of external pressures but to reduce domestic purchasing power...
