The 50 or so shrinelike nightclubs across the U.S. that book nothing but modern jazz combos are ghostly reminders of the lost swing and jump clubs.

In the United Kingdom and Germany the cost of living was up 2.8% in 1962, and in France 5.4% ; Italy has undergone a 6.6% jump in the past twelve months. Booming Japan's living costs have climbed 6.8% in the first five months of 1963, enough to threaten Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda's hopes for a doubled per capita income by 1970. In Latin America, the increases are stratospheric: Argentina's cost...
