...workers in what has historically been an unstable, layoff-prone industry. Since 1834, the U.S. economy has ridden the cyclical roller coaster through 31 booms and busts. Nobody is willing to predict that cyclical peaks and troughs can entirely be eliminated. But many economists are convinced that with prudent and prompt cooperation between business and Government, business and labor, and President and Congress-lately, a big if-they can be flattened out considerably...
Object of Ridicule. Far from making Christianity more relevant, says Ramsey, such woolly-headed pronouncements make it at best an object of ridicule, at worst a menace to prudent political judgment. The impact of these declamations is also weakened by the fact that the activist theologians cannot possibly speak for all Christians, given the differences of political viewpoints within the church.

Nothing brings a more purposeful expression to the face of a German motorist than the glimpse of another car fast overtaking from the rear. Usually, his reaction is to tramp on the accelerator and do battle. But the prudent motorist respectfully pulls into the right lane when he sees a blue and white me dallion on a weasel-like grille barreling down upon him. And with good reason, for it is the emblem of the sleek five-seater produced by the Bayerische Motoren Werke. The BMW can outperform and overtake almost any standard German car on the autobahn.
