...sell-off signaled something of a shift in investor psychology. The feeling is common that the Government's deflationary measures may finally succeed in constricting the economy-an achievement that would inevitably depress corporate profits. Two weeks ago, Treasury Secretary David Kennedy began warning openly, although the issue was never much in doubt, that the 10% tax surcharge may have to be extended a full year beyond its June 30 expiration. Last week Paul McCracken, the President's chief economist, warned the Joint Congressional Economic Committee that current tight-money policies may have to be maintained throughout...

With the reduction in shift hours and the demands of better care, the ratio of hospital personnel to patients has soared from about 145 employees per 100 patients to 260 per 100 in the past 20 years.

The grieving Graff delves into Siggy's notebooks, which contain a somewhat fictional history of his parents and of the marks laid upon their lives by experiences during and immediately after World War II in Yugoslavia and Austria. Siggy calls these notes his "prehistory," and his recollected stories seem touched by the bizarre influence of Gunter Grass. On the day in 1938 when Austria capitulates to Hitler, for example...
