...quietly marked her 86th birthday at her home in Easton, Conn., 27 states joined in celebrating Helen Keller Day. Among the many good wishes was one from Lady Bird Johnson: "It must give you enormous satisfaction to look back on what you have achieved, which is nothing less than a Magna Carta of opportunity for the handicapped.

...most notable success stories were among companies which ranked well below the top ten. Impressive gains were reported by North American Aviation, which soared from 44th place up to 29th largely through increased sales of missile components and other electronic equipment; Singer Manufacturing, which rose from 86th to 77th by diversifying from sewing machines into other home appliances; and Newport News Shipbuilding, which advanced from 239th to 191st on the strength of Government orders for nuclear submarines. The high profitability of drugstore and door-to-door selling was clearly reflected by the companies with the highest earnings rates. Gillette...
