The talkers were not measuring the U.S. economy, but "their own fever chart"-using a special kind of emotional arithmetic, adding two and two to get zero. Luckman preferred to add U.S. employment of 59 million (still close to its alltime high), savings of $200 billion and a purchasing power 53% higher than prewar.

Civic-minded Newsman Finnegan, with an appraising eye fixed on the circulation chart, decided to kick Chicago in the seat of its complacency. Soon, on billboards and in Page One headlines, the Sun-Times (circ. 635,000) was screaming, SOMEBODY KNOWS!
