...GLAD YOU CAN HELP was the United Fund's slogan this fall in South Bend, Ind., one of the cities worst hit by 1958's recession. Many were. Though Studebaker-Packard's work force had been cut 10%, men still on the job dug deeper, came up with exactly the same as last year's total: $67,000. In jittery Detroit, Ford's workers boosted their average contribution from $20.02 to $24.35. Northrop Aircraft's payrollers in Los Angeles raised their contribution to the local A.I.D. chest from $269,000 last year...

There beside the whisper of the surf, Oopa, who was once a fried-potato vendor and then a carpenter, roared like a Paris Assemblyman. Under the slogan, "Tahiti for the Tahitians; Frenchmen into the sea!", Oopa's Democratic Rally of the Tahitian People swept last year's elections, and Oopa, 63, became Premier of Polynesia. Oopa accused the French of allowing the islands' copra-and-phosphate economy to stagnate in the face of a population explosion that has doubled the population (to 70,000) in 25 years. Hoping to win greater control over an economy dominated...
...about 50 or a hundred years from now and there should be preserved the Kinescopes for one week of all three networks, they will there find recorded in black and white or color evidence of decadence [and] escapism . . .
