It may be rescued, as it has been in the past, by some new invention. But more realistically, many businessmen are now concluding that, to put new lift into the U.S. economy-and to create the new jobs the U.S. needs-business must turn increasingly to foreign markets.

Chairman George Cole, 55, and Unilever N.V. Chairman Frederik Jan Tempel, 61, run the company from adjoining offices. Cole-a husky. low-key executive who started...
There are two shows, however, which avoid off-Broadway's avant-grade rut and substitute real theatricality: Sean O'Casey's Red Roses for Me, at the Greenwich Mews, and last year's Leverett House musical, Sing Muse, by Erich Segal and Joseph Raposo.
