Adzhubei lost his job along with Khrushchev, but the trend to more flexibility in the press was not reversed. Today's Russian bosses, Brezhnev and Kosygin, play down the cult of personality (though they do not provide as lively copy as did Khrushchev). While Stalin's name used to appear in boldface and was given prominent display in most news stories, the present leaders are apparently content to have their names occasionally omitted from copy-which does not mean they are about to be demoted or disappear. Since news coverage is no longer a sure...
...Treasury Department's daily statement for June 30-the last day of fiscal 1965-showed a deficit of only $900 million in all the Government's accounts, including social security. Though many overdue bills and receipts may come in later and change the final figures, the trend is clear. The deficit is likely to decline still further in fiscal 1966, and the budget may well be in surplus in fiscal 1967 (which starts within a year...
...Jones industrial average was up four points, to 879.49. Wall Street was further buoyed by news of another kind of surplus: the U.S. balance of payments during the second quarter ran in surplus-by about $250 million-for the first time in four years.

Last week Fowler called for the convening of a major...
Trouble in Paradise represents a movie trend in the early thirties devoted to making the cinema a truly international art, despite the language barrier imposed by sound. The action takes place in France and Italy with much of the native language left untranslated. Lubitsch was a German director who had just moved to Hollywood, which explains the remarkable precision that organizes the lavishness in this film. The entirely American cast lends a flavor of New World comment on the European scene. This international cooperation in moviemaking was not to be seen again until very recently (Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt...
...stations sold a record 50.7 billion gallons of gas, and the industry's sales of $20.3 billion ranked it behind only food stores, auto dealerships and department stores in retail volume. The growing interstate highway system, Detroit's booming auto production and the trend back to larger, more powerful cars (which use costlier gas) have increased gasoline sales another 3.6% so far this year. This summer, gas sales are pushing to alltime highs as more and more Americans-four out of every five of whom drive when they go on vacation-take to the family auto for their...
