...York's Freedomland, so far a financial disaster (to the tune of some $5,000,000 per annum), has now surrounded its stagecoach and paddle-wheel steamers with some $3,000,000 worth of traditional hold-onto-your-hat rides. "Basically there are only two rides: up and down, or around-but you've got to have them to make a living in this business," says Freedomland Vice President Art Moss. Freedomland's latest include a monorail roller coaster imported from Germany, a Space Whirl featuring bumper cars which can also whirl like dervishes at 100 r.p.m...
Deft Exercise. Later in the week Stravinsky touched off some mild demonstrations, of his own. Occasion: the world premiere in Venice of his seven-minute Monumentum Pro Gesualdo di Venosa Ad CD Annum, inspired by the music of late-16th-century Madrigalist Don Carlo Gesualdo, who has long fascinated Stravinsky (Gesualdo had his wife and her lover murdered and is said to have suffocated one of his own children before relieving his tensions in song).

...know that the U.S. population will increase to well over 200 million," said LIFE'S Publisher Andrew Heiskell last week, looking toward the 1960s. "We expect real income to rise 4% per annum, with the result that an additional 6,000,000 families will have incomes of $5,000 or over." To keep pace with that national growth, LIFE (circ. base: 6,000,000) last week announced its plans for moving into...
After a long period of stagnation in the first half of this century, conditions have at least not deteriorated under pressure of burgeoning population (over 2% per annum). This is due to a British agreement negotiated at the beginning of the Second World War to purchase all the sugar that the Indies can produce (6% of the world's production) at a price fixed annually which guarantees a "reasonable" return to the planters. Queried on this point, West Indians say that the price of sugar on the world market is almost completely political, e.g. the United States buys sugar from...
