When cotton ceased to be king, Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal took its place. The issue of federal v. state sovereignty was all but buried under the weight of federal dollars for public power, military installations, dams, forests and scads of pork-barrel projects. (In 1962 the U.S. Government poured $229 million in grants-in-aid into Alabama...
Dickie will hardly suffer academically. The free school, which is still passing the hat to pay for its year-long $1,000,000 crash program, is nongraded and amply supplied with teachers. It has a well-qualified school superintendent, Neil V. Sullivan, who is on leave from heading the schools of East Williston, Long Island. Because Dickie is far ahead of many of the Negro 17-year-olds, his father expects him to get "darn near tutorial education...
...Image. That was hard language, especially since the "Made in U.S.A." label has won worldwide respect-but it was buttressed by some hard statistics. By its sheer size, the U.S. leads the world in total exports, and still it sells only 4% of its gross national product abroad, v. 9% for Japan, 16% for West Germany, 19% for Sweden.

Taking a tip from pizazz-minded Detroit, Nordhoff has also brought out a 15005, which has more chrome trim than the standard 1500 and a 66-h.p. engine (v. the standard's 54 h.p.). So far, Nordhoff has not shipped any of the bigger Volkswagens to his best export market, the U.S.-though some have been brought in by returning tourists. He is in no hurry. Even without the new model, Volkswagen's sales in the U.S. rose 25% in 1963's first half, to 121,884 cars. Besides, demand for the 1500 is so great elsewhere...
