Gross national product-the nation's total output of goods and services-climbed by about $20 billion as against a previous record of $17.5 billion in the first quarter of 1966.

Now he is man, the killer; the naked ape has arisen, and civilization is on its way. With a burst of animal spirits, the bone is flung into the air, dissolves into an elongated spacecraft, and aeons of evolution fall away. It is 2001, the epoch...
