...West Germany. The Germans want to count missile purchases in fulfilling their obligation, and have pointed to their worsening balance of payments in pleading for this change in the agreements.

Lincoln-Mercury's new Cougar sports car will not start while...

The U.S. Treasury last week noted that France, with gold purchases of $221 million, was the only nation to convert dollars into gold "significantly" during the second quarter of 1966. To allow the U.S. to continue as savior of the pound and at the same time to protect the U.S. from gold losses, the Europe-Canada-Japan group upped its pledge to the U.S. from $2 billion to $3 billion...
