...soldierly duties," wrote Switzerland's famed, 73-year-old Protestant Theologian Karl Barth* recently in the Christian Century. "Climbing uphill no longer tempts me. And even my work pace at the desk has become perceptibly slower. [But] air, water, substantial nourishment and moderate exercise still help me to keep my vigor; and even my faithful pipe still agrees rather well with me." Another sign of youthfulness that Septuagenarian Barth might have added is his continuing ability to change his mind...
...heart of most arguments about the growth of the U.S. economy is a basic assumption by many economists that the U.S. must speed up just to keep pace with the giant strides of the past. Last week in a calm, carefully documented report, James W. Knowles, longtime (ten years) staff economist for the Joint Congressional Economic Committee, reported that the assumption is away off base. The U.S. economy gained only an average 2.9% annually in gross national product in the half century between 1909 and 1959, after taking into account inflationary price rises that average 2⅓% a year (TIME...
...Power runs General Telephone as quietly and efficiently as a college classroom. He issues few memos, calls few meetings, likes to keep 9-to-5 hours so that he can spend time with his wife (they have two daughters) in their Manhattan apartment. He pores over every fact and facet of a business deal logically and dispassionately, then makes decisions about a $1,000,000 or a $100 million outlay with equal calm. He permits his subordinates wide latitude in running their departments, gives them pep talks in the "go-out-and-win" manner of a football coach. Said...
POWER used the money to acquire small independents that could not keep up to the growing demands of burgeoning suburbia, which the Bell System had to forgo for antitrust reasons. He also set out to fill what he considered General's two biggest needs: manufacturing and research facilities similar to Bell's. In 1955 he bought Theodore Gary & Co., a large Midwestern independent that owned Automatic Electric Co., a major supplier of telephone equipment. General Telephone thus became not only its own equipment supplier, but a supplier for 4,000 independents to which Bell did not sell...
...Hartford housewives, Mrs. Barbara Sanzo, mother of five, and Mrs. Laura Pope, mother of four, the women formed the Connecticut Milk Consumers Association to agitate against state milk laws that made it easy to keep prices high, particularly a 30-year-old law forbidding the sale of milk in economy-size half-gallon and gallon jugs. Holding public meetings, going on radio and TV pressuring legislators, the women raised such a rumpus that Connecticut's legislature passed a pair of bills legalizing both half-gallon and gallon jugs. But even then milk prices stayed high until a supermarket chain...
