...squeeze comes from a complex of causes. First, there is the world's exploding population - itself a product of better medical care and improved nutrition brought by capital investment. Only 40% of the people alive today are in the labor force; thus the majority must be supported by the minority who work-and raising their productivity on farms and in factories requires copious quantities of capital. Second, increasing economic competition forces every society to spend more to modernize and automate. Expensive plants age and fade as quickly as cinema sex queens; machines that have been built to last...
...many, it may seem that there is no need for such a law. But in fact, most juries in the U.S. are not currently chosen in accordance with the bill's requirements. This is a product not only of exclusion of Negroes in the South and elsewhere. It is also due to the fact that a majority of federal courts still use a "key man" system whereby leading citizens are asked to provide the names of those others in the communi ty who are worthy of serving on juries.

...U.ST has spent, lent or given away more money than it has taken in from abroad.

Trigger-Twitchy. To Allsop the hobo was largely a product of economic forces; he was an "exiled industrial worker" who would have stayed home in the first place if he could have found a job. The ranks of hoboes swelled during periods of depression-the 1870s, the 1930s. The men who rode the rails in the early part of the 20th century, says Allsop, were almost always migrant workers...
...BABE'S production of Coriolanus, on first viewing, appears less the product of an overall concept than dozens of ideas expertly paced and acted. Not all of the ideas work, and some of them clash, Sarah Gates's costumes, for example, successfully stifle identification with any given period: nonetheless, the combination of plebeians dressed for a production of Pirates of Penzance and aristocrats looking like refugees from Flash Gordon tends to add to an initial confusion...
