There was last year's 3,800,000-ton sugar-cane crop-the lowest in modern Cuban history. The ministry's industrial investment plan for last year, said Che, was only 62% fulfilled, and for this year has been cut to 75% of the 1963 schedule. Raw-material imports reached only 70% of their scheduled level; because of this, Cuban industrial production was off 16%. Moreover, said Che, "we are undergoing serious tension in a number of factories because equipment is rapidly going to pieces." The only sources for parts are "cannibal" shops, which strip spares from worn...
...paintings' titles are arbitrary; Advaitad and Shabda (opposite), for example, means "non-separateness from the impersonal oneness of Brahma" and "a meaningful sound or syllable." The scruffy textures of the paintings suggest weather-beaten walls or the aged face of the earth. Like the art brut, or raw, unpolished art, of France's Dubuffet or Spain's Tapies, these Indian moderns seem to be topographies scarred by glowing fissures, tracks of the varieties of human experience...
...never before; their exports rose to a record $11.4 billion in 1963. But Britons have also been living it up as never before.

After months of nervously watching the spectacle, Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home and his financial agents were alarmed when January's figures showed that Britain's trade gap had widened to the largest ($460 million) in history. Last week the government...
Myron G. Ehrlich, a Washington, D.C., criminal lawyer, challenges women jurors when the victim of the crime is a woman. Ehrlich's brother Jake, whose San Francisco case histories were the raw material for television's Sam Benedict series, argues exactly the opposite. When a trim little old lady turns up in court with every white hair in place, dressed in a powder-blue suit, says Jake, "I want her on that jury. She knows there's no such thing as rape." But Jake Ehrlich admits that jury picking is basically a risky proposition...
Dismal Catalogue. Above all other obstacles on the road to abundance looms agriculture, the perennial problem child of Soviet society. Though Russia regularly exported big farm surpluses in Czarist times, in 46 years of Communism it has never yet managed to grow enough food or raw materials for its needs. In 1963, after four straight years of disappointing harvests, the farm problem came to a head with a disastrous crop failure that forced Russia's leaders to buy $935 million worth of wheat from the capitalists they vowed to bury...
