...from a $10.5 billion balance of payments deficit in the previous three months. For complex technical reasons, these figures are considered to be less significant than they once were. But the U.S. also ran a surplus of $706 million on international exchange of goods and services compared with a mere $1,000,000 the quarter before-a more meaningful improvement...

With his steel-rimmed glasses and clipped Lenin beard, he looked more like a bureaucrat than a leader. His tastes were simple. He often referred to himself as a mere cabinetmaker's apprentice, the craft he practiced before becoming a revolutionary during World War I. He used to enjoy meeting with farmers and sloshing through pigsties and muddy fields with them. He believed in the virtues of hard work, and personally emphasized the importance of scientists and technologists...
