...National Bureau of Economic Research every week receives a mass of suggestions from citizens about how to predict the course of the economy: by aspirin sales, race-track betting, blue print production, employment of temporary office help. Some of the suggestions actually make sense, but they are like so many popguns in the economic forecaster's arsenal. The nation's economists, for roughly the same reason as the U.S. Air Force, have developed their own DEW-line warning system to spot trouble on the horizon...

Oil supplies have been maintained by uncapping state-owned reserve wells, and some experts predict that Argentina will be forced to import oil before December. The beef industry is worse off. With herds decimated by two years of drought, cattlemen are holding back stock, hoping to rebuild. Monday and Tuesday have been declared meatless days, and Argentines have been faced with the ignominy of importing beef from neighboring Uruguay...
