Counting Heads. A small, neat man of 47 with a round, blue-jowled face, John loannidies wears neckties, which many Greek Reds deem an affectation. No one, however, thinks of voicing an objection. He is head of the secret police of the KKE (Greek Communist Party), and disconcerts many comrades by knowing more about their private behavior than they thought...

She has increased the company's output elevenfold, partly by branching out into making jars for industrial canners. She walks around her plants in sensible shoes, and shuttles between factories by plane. Last year her company turned out more than 100 million jars, not far behind Muncie's Ball Brothers Co., the biggest U.S. canning-jar maker. Last week, in a nip & tuck battle with Ball...
