Good Economic News...in Two Lines

"New economic numbers are showing a 6.7 percent jump in retail sales between last month and the year before.  And automakers Chrysler, Ford and Volkswagen all posted strong sales gains in February."

In short, February was a good month for the economy.

The above is my summary of two articles I spotted Friday morning.  One was a report from the Associated Press showing a sizable jump in retail sales in February.  The other was a story in the Los Angeles Times on a strong showing by some automakers.  The resulting two lines come from the need to balance detail with brevity, since my newscasts are only one minute long.
