...Prince Charles, 19, all proper and legal-like as the owner of his first car, a six-cylinder, 127-m.p.h. MGC-GT. The car cost $3,120-out of the Prince's own pocket-and boasts such embellishments as an electrically controlled aerial and a leather-covered steering wheel. It has a bull horn that has already caused mumbles in the Noise Abatement Society. Charles will keep the car at Sandringham House for use on weekends and vacations from Cambridge, 50 miles away. The university, less impressed than insurance men by royal prerogative, will not let him keep...

Inventory drops in past years have often triggered genuine recessions. To forestall such a possibility, the Federal Reserve Board moved in its role as a monetary balance wheel. In place of its tight money policy of 1966, the Fed all year literally stuffed banks with funds. In its early stages, the massive infusion helped to keep the economic dip trivial. For a few months, interest rates fell, but as the mini-recession melted away, voracious business demand for loans reversed that trend. Corporations borrowed $16 billion through bonds and other debt securities in 1967, almost half again as much...
