...Check the Wool." During this summer's siege against juvenile delinquency, a key police department unit is the youth squad, 144 detectives who cruise New York City's five boroughs in unmarked sedans and concentrate on teen-age activities and spots of action.

Kishi, bent on responsible government under his own control, demanded that all 16 committee chairmen of the House of Representatives, and the Speaker...
...Coincident Series includes key areas that have traditionally risen and fallen along with the general business cycle, e.g., corporate profits, industrial production. The Lagging Series includes areas that generally lag behind the curve of the economy, e.g., manufacturers' inventories and interest rates on business loans. Finally, the Leading, the Coincident and the Lagging Series are added together in a composite index, which is less sensitive but more accurate than the Leading Series alone. In the past, when the Leading Series turned in one direction and the Composite Series moved in the same direction several months afterwards, the economy...
