...students jammed U.S. campuses last week-with nearly twice as many due by 1970-the problem was numbers. From 4% in 1900, the proportion of college-age Americans who go to college has soared to 39% (five times as much as in Russia).

The inventory situation this year, he said, is "very different" from previous years of downturn, and "the pattern should not be read as in the past." In the three previous recessions, businessmen cut back their rate of inventory accumulation for several months, and once they began living off inventories-causing a net decline-the drop continued for 10 to 13 months. Since inventories this year did not slide into a net decline until July, does this mean...
