Economically, the combined gross national product in Latin America rose by roughly 5% in 1962, and some $200 million in private U.S. capital is flowing into the area annually. Last year this was offset by the fact that investors staged a massive withdrawal from Venezuela. But now, reflecting faith in the stability of the Betancourt government, they are starting to put money back in. Most investors seemed reconciled to the fact that the days of the fast, fat return are over and .that long-range, better-protected returns are likely. This should help eliminate the frequent monetary crises of Latin...
...though high-test gasoline prices immediately doubled. They raised the fare on Rio commuter trains from 3 mills to 1½?. They limited bank credit, froze steel prices at the government-owned Volta Redonda plant, and persuaded auto, truck and clothing manufacturers to hold the price line. Goulart, who rose to power as labor's pal, even promised a group of industrialists that he would hold wages firm so long as they restrained prices...

Cut-price imports rose from 3,100,000 tons in 1961 to 4,100,000 tons in 1962. Aluminum, concrete, glass, plastics and other substitute materials have taken away another 2,000.000 tons a year of business that steel used to count on. Steelmakers now concede that they were too long indifferent...
That Paris was not the city at large but that part of it where The Sun Also rose from, a few streets and cafes in St.-Germain-des-Prés and Montparnasse, where every Tom, Scott and Ezra thought of himself as a man of genius, and in some cases was. Morley Callaghan, Canadian novelist, is one of those who have survived to tell how they once saw Ernest plain...
