Today we have the creeping inflation of steadily increasing government borrowing, currency printing together with the inflation of individual credits urged upon the purchasers of automobiles, TV sets, washing machines, etc., all the way down to travel by banks, manufacturers, merchants and trans portation agencies. When the bubble bursts, 1857, 1873, J893, 1907 and 1929 will look like halcyon days of peace and prosperity...
Next day its new owners arrived in a yellow school bus-48 travel-worn men, women and children. Within seconds the children had their shoes off and were zipping around the lake, roughhousing, swimming, jumping into rowboats. Their plainly dressed parents walked quietly about their new home. "Oh, my! It's too good for us," said bespectacled Alec Dodd of Toledo, Ohio. In the Tropical Room, their eyes lit up when they saw the bar. "Look at these low sinks!" exclaimed Balthazar Trumpi of Glarus, Switzerland. "This is perfect for the nursery. In the sinks the children can play...

Now with more compact warheads and with better missiles such as the Atlas and Titan ICBMs, which travel at 16,000 m.p.h. coming along more rapidly than expected, the Navaho would probably be obsolete before it ever got into operational use. Instead, the Air Force decided to produce Northrop's pilotless Snark bomber, a much slower (650 m.p.h.) but more nearly operational missile, as an interim weapon...
Self-Contained. The Santa Fe Opera is the inspiration of wealthy young (31) Conductor John Crosby, who last year gave up his job as assistant director of Columbia University's Opera Workshop and settled in New Mexico. Arguing that there was no reason why "Americans should have to travel to Europe in the summer to get good music," he talked friends into putting up $150,000, and selected the "rainless, mosquitoless and airplaneless" 76-acre San Juan ranch in the piñon-studded hills north of the city as the location for an amphitheater. Crosby and associates constructed...
