This early warning system, made possible by computer analysis of a va riety of indicators, will take the temperature of every economic advance. DRl President Otto Eckstein, a Harvard professor and member of TIME'S Board of Economists, rates the temperature of the current recovery to be near normal, al though he notes that optimistic business men are scrambling to stock their shelves and supply bottlenecks are be ginning to show up. But the question remains whether the boom index will real ly be able to warn of a dangerously rising temperature before it is already too high...
...that the memory of the second World War has not died out. To some degree, there is a danger of reviving this memory in thinking of too great differences in the economic and social performance of this country as compared with others in Europe. From time to time I warn my countrymen that we would under no circumstances advise any German to seek German leadership in Europe or even within the EEC. We don't dream of it, and I warn everyone not to dream...
...telephones. The first CB license was not granted until 1947. In the next quar ter-century, only 850,000 CB licenses were issued.

While CB "radiddio" is widely used by truckers and ordinary drivers to warn of speed traps ahead, the network is highly esteemed by highway patrols and police for its ever-increasing role in reporting accidents, crimes, stolen cars, fires, traffic tie-ups, even reckless drivers ("Harvey Wallbangers"). Several volunteer organizations of CBers have sprung up to monitor the air waves and provide round-the-clock emergency services. The biggest, called REACT (for Radio Emergency Associated Citizens Teams), claims more than 70,000 members in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, seven Canadian provinces and West Germany. Since its formation...
...symbol been entirely shorn of substance. Any Prime Minister has to take seriously the monarch's right to advise and warn. Though Anthony Eden ignored Elizabeth's judgment that Britain should not make its disastrous 1956 Suez intervention, and was himself ruined by that adventure, the Queen strongly influenced Harold Wilson's decision to stop short of sending troops in countering Rhodesia's declaration of independence in 1965. Comparable governmental decisions have reflected the judgment of the Dutch and Belgian monarchs, and may possibly be seen in Spain in the future. In any event, both the ceremonial and less apparent...
