Tempers and temperatures rose together. The heat, as much as ideology, triggered Chicago's race riots, a "wade-in" in Grenada, Miss., violence at New York City's Coney Island, and a prison eruption in Baltimore. Deaths, mostly of old people, were up 40% in New York, 50% in Atlanta and in St. Louis, where 146 fatalities were directly attributed to the weather. The St. Louis city morgue had to borrow stretchers when it received eight to ten times as many bodies as normal. "Deaths will hit several hundred before this is over," predicted Dr. W. W. Billings...
...skilled labor, many companies this year will forgo customary plantwide vacation shutdowns. Machine-tool manufacturers, jet-engine builders and even golf-club makers are swamped with orders. The stock market also perked up last week, prompting talk among analysts of a traditional summer rally. The Dow-Jones industrial average rose 17 points to 894, its biggest gain in six weeks...
...second time. Chicago's American Hair & Felt Co. introduced felt carpet underpadding in the '20s and cornered the market, but in the early 1960s it was nearly trampled by the consumer stampede to sponge rubber.

In the same period, the number of passengers traveling by air across the Atlantic rose from 1,000,000 to 4,000,000 annually. Sir Basil is determined not to let Cunard founder. His philosophy is: "If we go on regarding ourselves as primarily transport operators, then there isn't any future for us, because the airlines have captured the pure transport market...
...light of recent relaxations under Russia's new regime, not everyone will share Avtorkhanov's dark prospect. But whatever his conclusions, he is singularly qualified to examine the anatomy of Communist power. Avtorkhanov is a cured Communist, born 56 years ago in the Chechen region. He rose steadily through the party apparatus until a certain independence of thought -he opposed Stalin's plan to establish kolkhozes, or collective farms, in the non-Russian areas-nominated him for purging. After five years in Siberia, where he was sent without trial, he joined the abortive 1943 Chechen revolt against...
