Tourism and student travel rose, inflation lags behind other nations, and IMF figures show higher living costs abroad. The conclusion: nothing wrong with the economy that wiser fiscal policy couldn’t fix.

Frenchman trades gold bar for dollars in Geneva
Claude J. Despuech walked into the Geneva office of New York's First National Bank and exchanged a 2.2 pound gold bar for 1128.62 dollars. He hoped to slow the drain of gold from the United States to France and show that not all Frenchmen oppose De Gaulle's anti American policy. He suggested that without the United States France might not be free today, a gesture meant to comfort Americans who long for reassurance of mutual affection.

Rockefeller stays out of 1968 GOP primaries despite Oregon write-in hopes
Washington News confirms Governor Nelson Rockefeller will not enter the presidential race between now and the August convention. He will file to pull his name from Oregon’s ballot by the March 22 deadline and denies involvement in California, or any rival slate for the June 4 primary. GOP leaders in about 22 states view him as the most electable, but Rockefeller shows no signs of campaigning, leaving others to press the bid.
