...office-apartment combine should prove the ultimate panacea for the commuter. But it does have one drawback-if he takes an elevator to work, how will he get any exercise? Oh well, even a 100-story building must have a stairway...
...earn money to buy food, many of Asia's non-Communist governments hope to raise export income by pushing industrialization. But, warned the U.N. report, "industrialization is not the panacea, nor is it a simple and easy process." Though the area's manufacturing has been growing at a brisk 8% annually in recent years, its share of world industrial output is still only 7% , most of which is consumed within the area itself.

The Shemanskys are too incredible. From the first page, they are fantastic, insufferable, sick; who can identify with a Shemansky? Can it be said, what's good for the Shemanskys is good for the U.S.A.? Simckes, like his Vossen Gleich, has an acute humans concern...
