Following his arrest, Kornacki was hustled off for psychiatric examination. Diagnosis: emotionally disturbed but fit to stand trial. Though the sentence was relatively mild, there are signs that the regime is clamping down on other intellectuals who have been demanding greater freedom of debate and inquiry. Recently, the government stopped the press run, after 7,000 copies had been printed, of a scathing novel, The Divine Caesar, by Jacek Bochenski, which bitterly attacked the Communist order under the guise of exposing ancient Roman tyranny. Muses the novelist's dictator: "Let's face it. Gaul has not been subjugated...
...shocking misestimate" of the situation, which belatedly prompted cancellation of Eisenhower's trip to Japan. He was a private citizen but also a leading expert on Japan, and so MacArthur asked Reischauer to drop by the embassy. The two men talked for hours, and Reischauer issued a mild apology. Less than a year later, he sat at the other side of the ambassadorial desk in Mac Arthur's place (MacArthur is now U.S. Ambassador to Belgium). Reischauer had been halfway through a new book on Asian history "when this appointment hit me." As a longtime critic...
Frigid Visage. What happens next-whether Cuba will be blackballed from the OAS, or isolated by sanctions-Frondizi did not say.

In the current recovery, December seems bouncy largely because last January was so low; the year as a whole looks less roseate when reflected against past years-or against the current economic performance of foreign industrial nations. For all of 1961, the annual rate of production of goods and services in the U.S. will average out at $521 billion, which in constant dollars is a gain of only 2% over 1960. Industrial production...
Gentle Warning. Much of the credit for the present stability of interest rates belongs to the Federal Reserve, which correctly judged that the recession would be mild and so did not overstimulate the economy with too much easy money. The still high rate of unemployment, however, acts to check any inclination by the Federal Reserve to slow economic growth with tighter money-a mistake that the Fed, abetted by the Eisenhower Administration, made after the 1958 recession. Fortnight ago. Fed Chairman William McChesney Martin Jr. gently warned that he would not continue to sluice additional bank credit into the economy...
