...important new indicators make their debut in the Commerce Department booklet. One is the "Index of Wage and Salary Cost per Unit of Output"-which is the ratio of total U.S. manufacturing wage payments to U.S. industrial production. (This index is a lagger, which tends to fall during the early stages of a business expansion, because productivity then increases faster than wages do.) The other key indicator, which tends to lead the economic curve, is the ratio of wholesale prices that manufacturers receive for their goods to the price that they pay for labor.

West Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt, seems unable to get his campaign far enough...
...itself. Soon Ho's products were showing up by the bushel in Diem's area. Diem himself was already a fervent nationalist, but he was shocked by the extremist cries for violence. Energetically he went to work arresting local Communists, gathering material for a 15-page anti-Communist booklet, which he distributed throughout his area. Rising rapidly to become a provincial governor at 28, Diem went to work on the French, hoping to alert them to the Communist threat; but they would listen neither to Diem's warnings nor to his persistent pleas for better living conditions for the peasants...
