...reactions crept away. For this Pudding Show is fun, and more; it is showy, noisy, full of gaiety and brass. It is often witty. It is even a little socialistic, because the hero is the liberal Senator Hale N. Hardy, who has asked a troupe of Crimean dancers to widen the cultural scope of his native Booster (a not bad piece of Russian leaping and stomping gets going at the finish). Alas; the dancers, being ideologues, are not welcomed by Jordan Marsh (the wealthy fiance of Hardy's daughter, Wholsa) or by Pansy Pineherse (Hardy's old flame...
...practice, news is apt to be what an editor thinks his readers will be interested in, out of all that is going on. For some editors this means serving up mostly politics, sports, crime and a smattering of foreign troubles. TIME has spent its 40 years trying to widen the definition of what's interesting, and is pleased to find other editors now reporting the news in science, medicine, religion and education that was once so widely ignored.

And Zeckhauser's piece on trade seems to consider all the future in the hands of economic experts concerned only with economic integration...
Pushing the Limits. Encouraging as all this appears, these facts remain: there is a balance of payments gap, it has widened recently, and it is destined to widen further in the current quarter. European banks habitually build up their dollar accounts as "window dressing" for year-end bookkeeping, and this expands the U.S. deficit. Moreover, the U.S. has just about reached the limit in "tying" foreign aid funds to U.S. purchases, and it can hardly jack up interest rates much more during a period of economic sluggishness...
