...rise in imports, while worrisome to some industries, is no threat to most industry (imports are still only 4% of all U.S. manufacturers' sales). But it is a timely warning of the far greater challenge that the U.S. faces abroad. In the early postwar years the U.S. dominated world trade by virtue of its new plants and techniques, and lack of competition. But no longer. Now, thanks to the Marshall Plan and other U.S. aid programs, plus the spending of private business, plants just as efficient as those in the U.S. are turning out goods around the world. Britain...
America, now developing tactics to ward off enemy ballistic missiles, will have a "crude but effective defense," MacIntyre commented. Although this system will not be in operation for several years, he claimed that "there is no substantial long-range missile threat because our defense system will be ready by the time the Soviet Union can mass produce an effective weapon...
...nationalists appeal to 2,500,000 cohesive people with an intense pride in their native songs and in their literature, which dates back to the 6th century poets, Taliesin and Aneurin.

The Iraqis, feuding with Nasser, were not even present. And Iran, remembering how increased production by Arab...
...Price of Alaska. Why is Wall Street intrigued? Hollywood has adjusted to the threat of TV far better than anyone expected. Box-office receipts have dropped some 20% since the high of 1946, but moviemen expect attendance to level off at its present 40 million a week. Though no one knows exactly how many pictures Hollywood will produce this year, the total will probably be about 250, far below the 600 of Hollywood's heyday, but hardly the output of a dying industry. Twentieth Century-Fox says that it is "enjoying the greatest production spurt in 13 years...
