"This sharp decline in inventory spending is the key fact in our domestic business picture, and accounts for the relative stability of industrial production in 1960, despite a substantial expansion in final demand." Now, said Anderson, with the rate of inventory decline arrested in August, "the inventory adjustment appears to be nearing completion." He also found it "heartening...

...wrest the presidential nomination away from Kennedy. Once Kennedy got the nomination and tabbed Johnson as his running mate, he had hopes of wringing political gains out of the session by pushing through vote-catching welfare measures.

...once he is up there. And that can only be done with any certainty by putting him out in space." The safe return of Russian Space Mutts Strelka and Belka apparently ensures that man will suffer no physiological ill effects in near space -but the psychophysiological impact of zero gravity and extreme isolation has yet to be tested on a human being under actual space conditions. Only minimum shielding against cosmic radiation will be needed on manned earth satellites; their low orbits (125 miles for the U.S.'s Mercury, 200 miles for the U.S.S.R.) will keep them at least...
...launching site at New Mexico's Holloman Air Force Base, climbed into an air-conditioned van to don his Buck Rogersish pressurized space suit, and to begin two hours of inhaling pure oxygen (to get his red blood cells loaded up with an extra supply). Shortly before zero hour, 5:30 a.m., he staggered from the van. his 165-lb. frame laden with 155 lbs. of clothing and equipment, including an experimental stabilizing parachute designed to prevent dangerous high-altitude spin - during which blood collects in the extremities - without slowing the rate of descent...
