RICHARD NIXON cannot be called a hawk on the Viet Nam war. He wants the U.S. out, and he would prefer to bargain toward the exit rather than fight his way there. He has begun to reduce the American force level in Viet Nam. In May the President put forward a conciliatory negotiating position, inviting the Communists to discuss it seriously.

They make it their business to find out about textile firms in financial trouble and move in to grab control at bargain prices. In ten years of incessant acquisitions, they have stitched together the biggest textile combine in the Common Market, comprising some 50 firms with combined annual sales of $245 million.
