Rarely in recent years had there been such a rush by banks and savings and loan associations to lure deposits from the public. From New York to Los Angeles, financial institutions splurged with big-sized ads offering the average saver a return of 4½%, 4.85%, even 51% . This growing struggle for savings is the most vivid result to date of the Federal Reserve Board's month-old boost in the discount rate and its simultaneous increase (from 4½% to 5½%) in the maximum interest that banks may pay on time deposits of 30 days or more...

Its lack of flashing style can hardly defeat the record it offers. In this era of the third martini and the heart-saver chair, the story of the people in the covered wagons seems shockingly alien, as if they were someone else's ancestors...
Then her voice cracked in the middle of the last note of Do It Again and she shouted, "Oh, damn it." She walked off stage and came back with a glass of water and a peppermint Life Saver.
