...companies already have favorable trade balances, thus implying that the President could expect little more from them. A number of bankers echoed the criticism made by European financial leaders that Johnson had attacked the symptoms rather than the basic causes of the deficit. They pointed out that, in a rush to beat the voluntary controls, U.S. banks have probably already exceeded 1965's proposed limit of $500 million in new foreign loans. Other businessmen viewed the investment restrictions as barriers to the worldwide movement toward freer trade and freer exchange of capital...

Top readings come at the nightmarish interchanges, where curling roadways tangle like spaghetti on a fork and hundreds of car engines pant in frustration. "Tunnels and depressions concentrate the carbon monoxide," says the professor...
Moreover, since Congress normally would have to debate and vote on changes in the price of gold, many holders of dollars would rush to cash them in for gold. In theory, revaluation of gold could be prepared in secret by all nations concerned and announced simultaneously. In practice, economists believe, this might be nearly impossible to carry out.
