...drop-off mainly on Chinese panic buying. Actually, the government has gone on financing the deficit incurred fighting the 1958 rebellion by printing more rupiahs than the exports of Indonesia's rich natural resources (nearly half the world's rubber, a fifth of its tin, a third of its copra) could handily pay for. But 95% of Indonesia's 90 million inhabitants, living in a subsistence rural economy that lies below the modern urban superstructure like the coral foundation of a South Pacific atoll, are undisturbed by the currency crises and budgetary storms that agitate the fringing...
...officials frown at the low priority the U.S. gives Latin American affairs. The State Department's Latin America chief ranks with ten other Assistant Secretaries of State, below two Deputy Under Secretaries, two Under Secretaries and the Secretary of State himself. Two decades ago, the equivalent post ranked third. Some critics even think that a special branch of government, perhaps roughly similar to Britain's Commonwealth Relations office, is needed to administer the U.S.'s Latin American responsibilities with the necessary understanding...
Like a Corpse. The death of the News was inevitable. Though its metropolitan population hovers around a million and a half, Cleveland essentially is a noncommuter city, and therefore one with a home-delivery market. In such a market, a third paper is a luxury.

Abundant Talent. From such sales, KQED gets one-third of its total income of about $350,000 yearly. The secret is San Francisco's abundant talent. From two dozen nearby colleges and universities have come famed performers: Nobel Prizewinning Chemists Glenn T. Seaborg and Linus Pauling, Nuclear Physicist Edward Teller, Chemist Joel Hildebrand, Semanticist S. I. Hayakawa, Zen Master Alan Watts. Started on a shoestring six years ago (TIME, June 16, 1956), KQED has been able to turn out 19 talent-laden series, which were promptly snapped up by its hungry sister stations...
Detroit underestimated the compact market, is stepping up production in a race to meet demand. Compacts now account for 25% of U.S. auto production, helped push output to a January record of 691,400 cars. Ford's Falcon has already nudged into third place in production (topped only by Chevrolet and the big Ford), grabbed some 30% of the compact market with sales of 100,000. It is rapidly approaching the well-established Rambler, which holds first place in compact sales with 112,700 to date. Production of both Chevy's Corvair and Chrysler's Valiant...
