Bombs were exclamation points to the tension rising inside Havana itself. Two went off at the university, a third in a bakery, another apparently wrecked the control room of the giant, $20 million expropriated Shell Oil refinery. The worried regime narrowed its circle and last week more men were forced into jail, exile or ignominy. Among them: Major Humberto Sori Marin, Castro's first Agriculture Minister and chief justice of the war crimes trials-under house arrest; three Cuban diplomats in the U.S., including the alternate delegate to the Economic & Social Council of the Organization of American States-dismissed...
...virtuoso feat that is rapidly becoming standard operating procedure, an Air Force C-119 cargo plane equipped with a grappling hook last week snagged in mid-air a third Discoverer satellite - a 300-lb. gold-plated capsule that had traveled more than a million miles in polar orbit before being parachuted near Hawaii upon pushbutton command from a control room in Sunnyvale, Calif...
...survey by Dun & Bradstreet, top economists for U.S. corporations agreed that a further decline in overall business can be expected during the early months of 1961, with a recovery in the year's second half. About one-third thought the economy would get its main stimulus from Government spending. V.

The next upswing is just as likely to be greater than normal...
...Commerce Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission last week came encouraging-though hardly bullish-news about business spending on new plant and equipment. In 1960, said the agencies, this spending was cut back only 4%, will run about 10% ahead of 1959. It was the Government's third downward revision-to an annual rate of $35.7 billion-of its original estimate of $37 billion. But the drop-off was so small that it was not a major depressant on the economy. While the report estimated that plant and equipment outlays will slide further to $34.9 billion...
...vast tract of land that has changed little since it was bought as a ranch by James Irvine in 1864. Its 93,000 acres stretch from the Pacific across the coastal hills and into the Santa Ana Mountains, form an area six times bigger than Manhattan and one-third as big as Los Angeles. As the rest of Southern California has been built up, the land value of the Irvine ranch, bought originally for 36? an acre, has soared to an estimated $108 million...
