...ability to compete has been severely hampered by inflation; domestic prices are increasing by an alarming annual rate of 5.5%. One consequence is that French trade deficits have lately been running at more than $200 million a month. Psychology could cause even more havoc than economics. Frenchmen traditionally mistrust their own currency, and they have been spending francs rather than holding them, thus aggravating inflation. As a hedge against devaluation, they are converting francs not only into gold but also into "money substitutes" such as real estate, furs and fine wines.

...cannot see the problem that the public imagines the press as an instruction, that it is all the same.

Although a majority of blacks still subscribes to the ideal of integration, the increasingly vocal militants preach an American apartheid that would ultimately isolate Negroes from the mainstream of American life (see box p. 23). That such a solution would not only be accepted but welcomed by a great many whites...
...Sandy Koufax, Kim Novak and Ringo Starr. They are known as southpaws, gallock-handers, chickie paws and scrammies-and on down a whole list of slangy synonyms whose very length testifies to the fact that for centuries left-handers have been looked upon with suspicion, if not with actual mistrust...
