...deficit that could run as high as $25 billion - even after the cutback in expenditures - and bolster sagging international confidence in the dollar. During the second quar ter of 1968, the U.S. economy is expected to equal the first quarter's $20 billion leap forward in gross national product. With no rein on the economy, Johnson reasoned, inflation could lop 40 off every dollar's purchasing power during the year and help price U.S. exports out of world markets; tight money induced by Government borrowing to meet current bills could squeeze interest rates up to 10%, provoke...

So many orders poured in the first week that Randell quit his $12,500-a-year job and went into business for himself. The $2.95 guide has since turned into N.S.M.C.'s mainstay product; last year Randell sold 100,000 copies in three editions and recently Doubleday & Co. brought out a fourth for bookstore sale. The company also operates one of the nation's largest computerized dating services, and systematically mines the data for mailing lists. Through such ingenuity, Student Marketing's revenues...
