...Cyclical Roller Coaster. The 80-month U.S. boom reflects a climate of growth, but also stability. A notable measure of that stability was the willingness of the Ford Motor Co. last month to guarantee up to 95% of the annual wages of workers in what has historically been an unstable, layoff-prone industry. Since 1834, the U.S. economy has ridden the cyclical roller coaster through 31 booms and busts. Nobody is willing to predict that cyclical peaks and troughs can entirely be eliminated. But many economists are convinced that with prudent and prompt cooperation between business and Government, business...
...Roller Skating. The missionaries, mainly Jesuit, are among the most effective Americans in Micronesia. "If you want to get 500 out of every dollar, let the government do it," says one U.S. trust-territory officer. "If you want to wring $1.10 out of every dollar, let the missionaries do it."

Since Nevada law holds that a casino is responsible for its employees and is liable to lose...
Maris drove in both St. Louis runs. He rescued Brock in the third on an infield roller. And in the seventh, after the fleet Brock had gotten his fourth straight hit, stolen his second base (when Russ Gibson's throw was slightly high) and gone to third on a grounder, Maris came through again...
...which they give front-page display - while their own reporters cover local events. The papers follow a conservative line, are staunch civic boosters. The Repository has campaigned for the establishment of a professional-football hall of fame in Canton. It has been similarly attentive to the locally based Timken Roller Bearing Co., world's largest tapered roller-bearing manufacturer. "I can't remember the Rep ever speaking out against anything the Timken family wanted," says a Canton businessman. About the harshest criticism leveled at the Ports mouth (Ohio) Times, according to Editor George W. Stowell, comes from "mothers...
