...hustles drunks out of sight. On week nights groups of 20 or more who want to dance, munch steerburgers, and watch the show from left field, can get out of the Town & Country on a package deal for as little as $3 apiece. But. depending on the attraction, the minimum can also run to $6.50 a head, and there may be as many as 4,500 customers a night (the crowd is politely asked to leave after the first show to make room for the second shift). With such a take the club can afford weekly salaries that make even...
Communism has never had a spokesman who could state a bad case more ingratiatingly. As official observers, we felt that courtesy demanded a minimum of argument, and this suited Khrushchev.

Yet mortgage foreclosures are still at a minimum, and such a sensitive economic barometer as New England's winter-sport industry shows a 12% increase...
...inventories are already down below 20 million tons, off 5,000,000 tons from the peak, and below the 21 million-ton inventory considered normal. While inventories got as low as 14 million tons during the 1954 recession, steelmen reckon that in 1958's bigger economy a bare-minimum inventory is 17 million tons. What could turn steel around-and give the entire economy a healthy lift-is auto sales.
