Coming Downhill. In the bright sky over California's Mojave Desert, Adams unhooked from the B-52 mother ship that had carried him aloft to 45,000 ft. Then his ammonia and liquid-oxygen rocket motor ignited with 60,000 lbs. of thrust, hurtling him skyward for 80 sec. until his fuel burned out. Seconds before he glided upward to "go over the top" at his peak altitude of 261,000 ft., Adams radioed calmly to report loss of control of the X-15's pitch-and-roll dampers, twelve small rocket nozzles that guide the craft...
Nowhere was Italy's automania more evident last week than at Turin's 49th annual International Motor Show. Huge crowds packed 580 displays from 15 nations, including the Soviet Union. Most popular of all, with its dazzling display of models in attractive shapes and sizes, was Turin's own Fiat, which is having its best year ever. At home, Fiat has cornered 75% of the market.

Since 1834, the U.S. economy has ridden the cyclical roller coaster through 31 booms and busts. Nobody is willing to predict that cyclical peaks and troughs can entirely be eliminated. But many economists are convinced that with prudent and prompt cooperation between business and Government, business...
...Ford Motor Co. strike was 53 days old last week when United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther and Company Negotiator Malcolm Denise finally signed a new three-year labor contract. That done, Ford announced that it lost $73.9 million during 1967's third quarter, compared with a $65.8 million profit for the same period last year. It was the biggest earnings setback since Ford went public in 1956, and the strike was obviously to blame. But troubling though the deficit was, Ford should make up most of its losses with a surge of sales to customers who waited...
