...Army and Air Force bases of New Mexico believe that the Tularosa Basin is ideal for a major spaceport. In its northern sector is a vast, bare alkali flat with 100 sq. mi. of almost perfectly level surface, made chiefly of gypsum (natural plaster of Paris), which is firm enough to support the world's heaviest aircraft. Most of the basin's few inhabitants are already connected with military space activities and are eager to see the region regain the importance that Canaveral took away from it.

...farm sector of the economy was already sagging-only 8% of the nation's capital investment had been allotted to its development. Though the gross industrial product increased by 123%, gross farm production rose a mere 26%, scarcely more than the eight-year population growth, by Western estimates.

From an annual rate of $47.4 billion in first-quarter 1960, pre-tax profits slid steadily to $40 billion in first-quarter 1961. Virtually all that loss came in the manufacturing sector. But with manufacturing leading the way, the rate went back up to $45.5 billion in second-quarter 1961, then moved on to $47 billion in the third quarter. In the current quarter, Government economists are looking for a new record of more than $50 billion...
