...some interesting figures. Never mind whether any money comes from the slowdown in Viet Nam; the study projected that federal revenues would increase by $15 billion in 1970, $16 billion in 1971, $18 billion in 1972, on up to $20 billion in 1976. Cumulatively, these federal revenue increases would total $125 billion by the end of 1976. The money, said Rockefeller, could be channeled into new federal domestic programs or sent to the states through the President's revenue-sharing plan...
...covered with low structures that climb up Telegraph Hill, hugging its contours and accentuating San Francisco's natural rhythm of hills and valleys. It is an area of narrow streets and small lots, and zoning authorities thought they had forestalled any skyscraper-high structure by stipulating that total floor space in new buildings could not exceed 14 times the area of the site. Transamerica outsmarted them by assembling seven parcels into a 47,000 sq.ft. lot, and Architect William Pereira devised a tapering pyramidal shape that will soar 840 ft. into the sky without violating the required standards...
Fighting the Imports. Rather than concentrate on full-size models, Detroit is determined to make a dent in the soaring sales of foreign cars, which captured more than 10% of the total U.S. market last year for the first time since 1959. A decade ago, Detroit responded to the inroads of foreign competition by bringing out a fleet of compacts; within four years, the imports' share of the market was cut in half. Now the auto companies are ready to renew the battle with yet another generation of small cars...
...entering the small-car market at a difficult time. G.M. President Edward Cole predicted last week that new car sales in the 1970 model year would remain close to 1969's near-record level of some 9,700,000 units, but Detroit's share of that total has been dwindling. Sales of imported autos in the U.S. will exceed 1,000,000 units in the '69 model year, a 70% increase from 1966, and the trend is still running against domestic producers...
...difficult to enforce. The government has only 2,100 inspectors to watch for illegal price increases, which Frenchmen sardonically call la valse des etiquettes (the price-tag waltz). The inspectors must police hundreds of thousands of retail establishments; the number of shoe stores alone is over seven times the total number of inspectors. Of the first 618 stores checked by inspectors in the Paris area, some 150 had raised their prices illegally...
