...have, however, is the highest literacy rate (85%) and the second highest per capita annual income in Central America ($450 v. an average $300). It also has an enviable record-not quite unbroken but still impressive-of free and democratic elections. Last week, for the fourth time in a row, the Costa Rican electorate peacefully voted out the party in power. As usual, the 2,000-man police force stayed quietly in the background; the most noteworthy figures at polling places belonged to pretty girls in miniskirts who were on hand to assist voters...
...pleaded the sellout crowd in the Louisiana State University Coliseum. L.S.U. Guard Pete Maravich (TIME, Jan. 19, 1968) tried, but all he could manage was 0,0,0,0,0 -five missed jump shots in a row. Finally, with 4 min. 41 sec. remaining in the game against the University of Mississippi, Pistol Pete popped a 23-ft. jumper from the right side.

The Commerce Department's index of leading economic indicators fell 0.2% in December, the third monthly decline in a row. Industrial production has been dropping since last July. At the same time, rising costs continue to push prices higher. Wholesale prices rose at an 8.4% annual rate last month, the sharpest climb since July; processed foods provided the biggest part of the increase. So far this year, steel prices have...
...game with a deliberate attack off a high post, battled the Yardling cagers almost evenly for the first seven minutes of the game. But then, after new Harvard coach John Harvey called time to give his players a rest. Crimson center Floyd Lewis tipped in three in a row. Forward James Brown dumped in three more field goals soon after to give Harvard a 25-15 lead-midway through the f?t half...
