The New York Times notes export demand has surged for years, with four months in 1957 totaling over 7.28 billion dollars, a 28 percent rise from the prior year.

Norman Peale reflects on a Swiss vacation with Chief Justice Farr Warren. He notes rainy days and foggy hills at Lake Lucerne, Warren’s calm amid weather, and lessons in tempering worry.
