• Americans got out and spent more in the spring, nursing the U.S.
economy back to health after a feeble start to the year.
• The official scorecard for economy, known as gross domestic
product, grew at an annual rate of 2.6% in the second quarter, the
government said Friday.
• The rebound in GDP more than doubled up on a revised 1.2% pace
of growth in the first quarter, suggesting the early-year slowdown
largely reflected seasonal quirks such as poor weather and late tax
refunds.
