...latest U.S. estimates put Cuba's gross national product down 30% from the pre-Castro level, and still falling. Mismanagement, shortages of equipment and fertilizer, and some sabotage have cut this year's sugar crop to less than 3,000,000 tons-little more than half the pre-Castro average. Cuba's non-military debt to Moscow, already some $300 million, is expected to reach $800 million by year's end. Food is so short that staples are up 40% since 1958. But that is just the legal price hike. On the thriving black market that...
...able to cope with any future disorders, he had his rubber stamp Congress "appoint" him to the presidency for life. "This decision might not entirely live up to certain constitutional requirements," harrumphed an Indonesian Cabinet Minister, "but it should be remembered that it is a political revolutionary product and not a legalistic product." With his continued career thus assured, Sukarno flew off for what was described as a long rest in Japan, Belgrade, Vienna, Rome, and France, which he is always prone to enjoy.

But there were numerous high moments, as when the physician head of the A.M.A. ("the Anti-Medicare Association") outlined his fees; the $500 immediate cure, the $200 long convalescence, and, "for people of limited means, a lingering...
...signs that have long recorded how many million hamburgers it has sold. Now the signs will flash the figures in billions, a success reflecting the bustling U.S. phenomenon of which McDonald is an example: franchising. The number of franchised "Mom and Pop shops"-small businesses that rent their name, product, design and sales methods from big franchisers-has grown to an estimated 100,000, which this year will take in more than $1 billion. Eleven hundred companies now dispense franchises (v. only 200 in 1945) to enterprises that feed people, fix cars, clean clothes, keep books, and collect bills. Among...
