Brazil's many and mighty rivers offer a wealth of power-producing capacity, but less than 10% of the country's hydroelectric potential is utilized. Even major cities suffer from a severe kilowatt lag. In Rio de Janeiro, lights often flicker-and sometimes die-and Säo Paulo's massive industrial complexes are perennially pestered by a shortage of juice. Prospects are brighter: a giant project abuilding in south-central Brazil will help illuminate some of the country's dark corners and produce a stream of electricity for its cities...

The Federal Reserve Board, meanwhile, cut the discount rate and has generally moved to make money easier. At the same time, a lag in domestic spending has almost been covered this year by an upswing in defense spending; in the first quarter $3 billion more was spent on military needs than had been anticipated. Altogether, said Ackley, fiscal and monetary policy are now more stimulative than they have been since the Korean...
Heath cited statistics indicating that it will be at least 40 years before Europe catches up economically with the United States, and he suggested that it would probably take a good deal longer even than that.
