...more than 500%. Personal debts continue to swell about 10% annually, and nobody expects that the economy can continue indefinitely to support such gains. The personal total now tops $264 billion, of which 70% is accounted for by mortgages. The rest of it is mostly short-term and medium-term installment credit...
Movies are pre-eminently a director's medium, and of the Hollywood directors most actors would don a hair shirt to work for, William Wyler is near the top of the list.

Ford's low-priced Taunus ($1,417 for a four-door sedan), virtually unchanged since its introduction in 1962, is behind both the small Opel and VW's familiar beetle in sales, but it still accounts for 35% of Ford's German production...
