...five decades since Henry Ford put the nation on wheels with his Model T, Detroit's automakers have worked on the assumption that their domestic market would continue to grow healthily. Now a subtle but profound change of thinking is taking place. No auto executive goes so far as to say that the domestic car market has reached a plateau, but most of them agree that dramatic sales jumps in the future will come less in the U.S. than in foreign markets...
...modern era, different ideologies have been devised and spread abroad . . . Some have been dissolved as clouds by the sun; others . . . have waned much and are losing still more their attraction on the minds of men. The reason is that they are ideologies which consider only certain and less profound aspects of man. And this because they do not take into consideration certain inevitable human imperfections, such as sickness and suffering, imperfections which even the most advanced economic-social system cannot eliminate. Then there is the profound and imperishable religious exigence which constantly expresses itself everywhere, even though trampled down...
Longer Hours. "People in all walks of life," concluded the Michigan survey, "realize that business trends have turned up and anticipate further improvement." About the only restraint to optimism is profound public worry over high (6.8%) unemployment. But even that persistent problem may be abating.

Never was style so involved with, so much one and the same thing as the matter and meaning of a novelist's work. The unmodified, unmodulated phrases are essential to the dry, tight pleasures and pains of Hemingway's world; nothing else could convey with such on-going, irresistible immediacy the pure analyzed sense of "what is." Only thus could...
...philosophy-essentially a profound pessimism about the human situation and a stoic sense of tragedy-grew out of war. Like many a child of the times, he was born twice, once in Oak Park, Ill., on July 21, 1899, and a second time during World War I at Fossalta on the Italian Piave on July 8, 1918. At Fossalta, Hemingway, who had switched from ambulance driving to join the Italian infantry, was so badly wounded in a burst of shellfire that he felt life slip from his body, "like you'd pull a silk handkerchief out of a pocket...
