McGovern, two of the authors of a Senate measure that would end all American combat operations in South Viet Nam by Dec. 31, 1970. Their plan, Agnew said, is a blueprint for disaster and humiliation, "chaos and Communism." He added: "One wonders if they really give a damn." In a Senate speech the next day, Hatfield asked: "What kind of men have we at the helm of government who would deliberately coerce the public into accepting their policies on the threat...

Billera motivates his millionaires by what he admits is "sheer corn," including quarterly competitions for E-for-Excellence flags, and an annual bronze plaque for the member company that does best. Behind such techniques is a Billera blueprint for building USI into a 500-company empire within ten years, though he has slowed acquisitions this spring. Billera also intends to remain flexible in his own job. Last month he promoted Charles E. Selecman from executive vice president to president, in charge of day-to-day operations. Selecman is well steeped in the Billera philosophy. "We want...
