...Robert Williams last week. But for all his semantic fastidiousness, Dr. Williams-like many another forecaster-could find no better term to describe what the U.S. economy seems headed for. The real optimists had an even more hyperbolic word to describe what is coming: Superboom. By next spring, they predict, Berlin-inspired defense orders will strain U.S. productive capacity, and by Christmas 1962, the gross national product will soar to nearly $600 billion...
...first six months of this year, U.S. visitors have raised Hong Kong's tourist rate 36% over the same period last year; tourism in Japan is up 31%. (Main reason for the big jump: the 52nd annual Rotary International Convention held in Japan last May.) Travel men predict that tourists in the Far East will increase their spending from last year's $200 million to $1 billion by 1968. Already under construction in Hong Kong are three new hotels, with a total of 2,000 rooms, while U.S. Restaurateur Donn Beach, owner of Honolulu...

And for 1962, Detroit seers happily foresee more than 6,500,000 car sales-roughly equivalent to booming 1960 and second only to 1955's record 7,200,000 sales...
...circulation can be too much of a good thing, when ad revenue fails to keep pace. "Advertising rates are not high enough," admits McCall's Publisher A. Edward Miller, but he hopes for a burst of additional ads to close the gap. Even if he gets it, insiders predict that the magazine will not be showing a decent profit for years...
...million cars on U.S. roads-more than one for each family. The old dream of two cars in every garage has become a reality for 18% of U.S. car-owning families. And. as other things-TV sets, dishwashers-gleam brightly in the consumers' eyes, Detroit's economists predict that new-car sales for the next few years will grow about 2.8% annually, not much more than the expected population growth...
