Rolling in the Red. These are times that have all railroaders trying to peer down the road ahead-and recoiling from what they see. In the 19th century, when they were the only practical means of mass transportation by land, the railroads thrust their iron tentacles into virtually every U.S. town, developed such vast capacity that today they could still carry all the nation's freight-and then some. But for more than a generation, trucks and buses, barges and planes have been biting into the business of moving goods and people, until now the railroads' share...
...believes that no major breakthroughs are required, only modest improvements in the space art. Nor, it insists, need the project wait for new big boosters; the eight-engine Saturn (1,500,000 lbs. of thrust), which has been ground-tested already, should be good enough. Two hundred Saturns will be needed, together with massive upper stages and a host of other fancy equipment, to soft-land ten colonists and 500,000 lbs. of equipment on the moon...
...narrower on the outside, but not appreciably changed in interior size. Both have long, low hoods and short, sloping rear decks. The Dart has abandoned its curly rear fin for an unadorned, clean rear-fender line, has changed its concave grille to a flat one with a forward thrust. The pizazz model, Polara, will come out only in two-door hardtop and convertible models. Both Dodge and Plymouth retain their 1961 engines but will seem a lot livelier because they are 300-400 lbs. lighter. Plymouth's Valiant now becomes Chrysler's Valiant, gets only a few physical...
...Fundamental Error. Pope John did not designate Communism by name, but he pointed out, "Experience has shown that where the personal initiative of citizens is missing, there is political tyranny." He then skillfully thrust through to Communism's most vulnerable spots-its promise of a temporal paradise, its scoffing at man's deeply felt religious needs, its persecution of Christian believers: "In the modern era, different ideologies have been devised and spread abroad . . . Some have been dissolved as clouds by the sun; others . . . have waned much and are losing still more their attraction on the minds...
What else will supply a fresh lift for business? Economists are banking on help from increased Government spending, which will rise by some $2 billion this year and even faster next year. But if the 1961 recovery is to be brisk, something more is needed. For that extra thrust, economists are looking hopefully toward the free-spending American consumer...
