...Leningrad edition of Pravda reported acidly last week that the curator of the West European art history section of Leningrad's famed Hermitage Museum rose to defend "formalistic distortions and asserted that 'this is buoyant, creative art.'

Cutthroat competition and increasing automation have combined since 1947 to reduce the number of U.S. textile producers from 8,157 to about 7,500, and to shrink the industry's work force from 1,240,000 to 880,000.

With painstaking care, she has woven each of the skeins of medieval life into a vivid tapestry that shows the loutishness and insensitivity of the baronial landholders, the obtuseness of the peasantry, the twisted fervor of churchmen who found virtue in the wholesale slaughter of heretics...
...world's biggest aluminum smelter, the biggest private hydroelectric project, and the biggest bauxite production. Last week, at its annual meeting, Aluminium announced the best superlative of them all: in 1962 it comfortably maintained its lead as the world's largest primary aluminum producer. As sales rose 8% to a record $515 million, and profits jumped 24% to $34 million. Aluminium poured 790,000 tons of aluminum around the world v. 700,000 by the U.S.'s Alcoa, its fiercest competitor...
