U.S. Commerce Department reported Thursday that the nation's gross domestic product rose at a 3.5 percent annual rate in the July-through-September quarter, the clearest evidence yet that the country has begun to emerge from the deepest downturn in decades.
U.S. economy contracted 6.4 percent in the first quarter and a 0.7 percent in the second. But growth in this quarter is attributed primarily to Government intervention rather then being propelled by private sector.
