Ranging Progress. What impressed the experts was that the advance ranged across just about every sector of the market. In 14 consecutive sessions, gains by individual stocks outnumbered the declines, and many a stock in the course of the week hit a new high, not merely for 1967 but for 1966 as well.

...Galbraith's new industrial state is a thoroughly planned economy - with technocrats in very large corporations in control. Government is not much more than a manservant, performing tasks that industry cannot or does not care to manage by itself. In some fields, the line between the public sector and the private sector is already "nearly imperceptible," and before long "men will look back in amusement at the pretense that once caused people to refer to General Electric, Vickers or Du Pont as private business...
