...Managerial skills are lacking. "Here we have brilliant individuals and almost never brilliant organizations," says Italian Physicist Massimo Bernardini. U.S.-style teamwork between research, production and financial men remains the exception-and Europeans still have a lot to learn about advertising and marketing too. Anthony Wedgwood Benn, Britain's Minister of Technology, lists "seven new deadly sins" afflicting the British economy, among them "industrial amateurism" and "status hunting." Habitually, corporations pick top managers and directors not for ambition, skill or diligence but for their social qualifications. This sin of amateurism is certainly not confined to Britain...
Soft on Anarchy? In Parliament, Labor M.P. Hugh Jenkins demanded action from Postmaster General Anthony Wedgwood Benn, warning that "piracy is an aspect of anarchy, and when the government condones that, as it has in effect been condoning it for the last few years, gangsters soon take over."

Princeton's best freshman swimming squad in memory has piled up a record of nine wins and no losses this year, but Coach Benn Merritt's Crimson freshman will give them their hardest test.

Merritt also credited Rich Tompkins and Peter Alter with good performances under pressure. The Crimson's iron men against Army were Shrout, Peter Adams, Steve Coy, and Phil Chase, each of whom swam two events and then combined to form the relay tearn that decided the meet in the final race...
