Inflation is sure to rise above its present 12.7% annual rate over the next few months; some economists even foresee a rerun of the price explosion of last spring, when the rate briefly hit 18%. One of the villains will be food prices; they may rise by as much as 2% a month this winter because of a poor harvest and overseas demand. At the same time, the unemployment level, now 7.6%, will creep up as rising interest rates slow down homebuilding and other industries. As it is, the economy is very sluggish. New home sales in September dropped...
This race could be a rerun of the sixties, with a Goldwater-type hawk facing off again a traditional dove. The third candidate--incumbent Sen. Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.)--accuses both of extremism, attempting to straddle the middle. He may find out--too late--that by splitting the liberal vote, he has contributed to the election of an ultraconservative...

PLAUDITS FROM CONSUMER GROUPS, PROTESTS FROM FOOD INDUSTRY .. . PUBLIC CONFUSED. But this time, the chemical in question was sodium nitrite, a preservative widely used in meat, poultry and fish.

...earnestly of the Dow's reaching 1000 by year's end, a level it last reached on Dec. 31, 1976, when it closed at 1004.65. What is needed to keep the bull market charging ahead? One thing would be investor confidence that there will not be a rerun of the spurt in interest rates that nipped the January boom. Another spur would be broad recognition that stocks remain cheap, especially in comparison with real estate, gold and other assets. Ten years ago, one ounce of gold, then worth $35, would have bought a little more than one share...
