...have been pure coincidence. First, reports filtered out of Moscow that the leaders of North Viet Nam and the Soviet Union had met secretly on the Black sea. Then the President of the U.S. rose in remote Arco, Idaho, and, in his first speech on U.S.-Soviet relations in many months, urged an end to the cold war and a new spirit of "common endeavor" between Moscow and Washington. Whether or not the two events were linked, it was suddenly obvious that there is the possibility of a dramatic shift in the direction of the Viet...
Beneath the immediate international problem of the payments deficit lies the fact that British productivity lags behind that of Europe or the U.S. From 1960 to 1965, U.S. productivity rose by 21%, West Germany's 29%, Italy's 40%-and Britain's only 18%. For each worker needed to produce a ton of steel in the U.S., three are needed in Britain. In manufacturing, it takes 2.52 Britons to equal the output of one Canadian, 1.89 to equal a Swede's. Yet hourly earnings in British industry grew by 33% in 1960-65-plus another...
...speed of 19,000 m.p.h. At an altitude of 218,000 feet, small control rockets were fired, shifting Apollo so that its contoured heat shield provided a small amount of lift. As a result, Apollo literally bounced off the thickening atmosphere like a flat stone skipping across water; it rose to 264,500 feet before beginning to fall once more. The maneuver not only sliced some 3,000 m.p.h. off the craft's dangerously high descent speed but enabled its heat shield to cool before the final plunge through the atmosphere...
...established fact that inflation is spreading across the U.S. economy at the fastest rate in years. Since January, the prices consumers pay for goods and services have shot up at a 3½-a-year pace. Last week the Labor Department reported that consumer prices rose .4% in July-the sixth monthly gain in a row. This lifted the nation's consumer price index to a record 113.3, or 13.3% above the base average of the years 1957-59. On top of that, wholesale prices-which normally foreshadow the future course of consumer prices-gained .7% in July after...
...knighted "for services to export." Small wonder. Johnnie Walker, the world's top-selling Scotch, sends more than a million cases a year to the U.S. This month, making his annual report for the twelve-month period ending March 31, Sir Robert said that overall exports of Scotch rose by 9,120,000 million gal., or 16%, to a total of 65,440,000 gal. Distillers Co. Ltd. also made marked gains with its gins and vodkas, especially in the U.S., where it already operates a distillery and bottling plant in Linden, N.J., plans to open...
