...convention, both men worked for Eisenhower's nomination. The Vice Presidentelect recommended his friend for the No. 2 spot in the Justice Department, and when Attorney General Herbert Brownell resigned in 1957, Rogers, then 44, succeeded him. Rogers was best known for vigorous prosecution of antitrust cases and for his part in drafting the 1957 civil rights bill and pushing it through Congress...

There is also a weakening of the persistent European notion that U.S. antitrust and securities laws are somehow stacked against foreign operations (they are not). But the main drawing card is that the U.S. market is still the world's biggest and most profitable. Describing his own experience last June, Marcel Bich, whose Bic pen company bought out Waterman Pen Co. in 1959, could hardly contain himself. "The States, it is tough," he declared. "But when it works, it pays!" Bich has long since recouped...
