...combined, boasts terminals for 20 rail lines. Its motor arteries are clogged by 800,000 truck trips daily. Its McCormick Place is the nation's biggest convention hall, plays host to organizations that spend more than $200 million a year in Chicago. Its share of the gross national product is $28.7 billion. Its steadily climbing industrial capacity has reached total gross sales of $23.2 billion; now the leading steel producer in the nation, Chicago turned out one-fifth of the nation's steel in 1962. Chicago's per capita debt is only $206, and the city...
...places around the campus during the March rains. One of those places was the Yard, where the poisoned nuts lay buried. The noxious bacteria in the tea found the toxic substance in the acorns a perfect nutriment. The odoriferous gas you have inquired about is a little-known by-product of their metabolism, encountered only when the bacterial colonies are able to grow without restraint. I'll wager there won't be much green in the Yard for Commencement Exercises this Spring...
...Ecuador's backward economy. One-third of the country's 4.7 million people are Indians living under conditions little better than their Inca ancestors; the average per cap ita annual income for all Ecuadorians is just $167. From 1956 through 1961, the country's gross national product inched ahead at a painfully slow 1% a year. During the Arosemena administration, it jumped to 2.5%, still less than the annual population increase of 2.8%, but at least a move in the right direction. Banana ex ports last year reached a record high of 34.5 million stems, and, thanks...
Unlimited Potential. Beltmakers see an almost unlimited potential for their product. So far, only 8,000,000 of the 65.5 million cars on U.S. roads have seat belts. Making them standard equipment in Detroit would add more than $114 million a year to sales-not counting the millions of auto owners who would then be inspired to install belts on their own. Beltmakers now go in for dramatic demonstrations to show the value of the seat belt, but they do not intend to stop at one or two to a car. They are already talking of urging six belts...
...with Production. Formosa's surprising success is, of course, largely due to the $3 billion in economic and military aid that the U.S. has poured in since 1949 under the watchful eye of the Chiang Kai-shek government. But unlike the sorry case in many other underdeveloped areas, U.S. aid to Formosa has been dispensed wisely and put to work intelligently. Formosa's gross national product has been growing at the rate of 7.7% a year, and industrial production is up 11% from last year. Per capita income has been rising, and so has consumer buying...
