...Shared Dislike. At a banquet thrown by Chinese President Liu Shaochi, Ayub announced his intention to serve as "honest broker" between Washington and Peking in search of a negotiated settlement in Viet Nam-despite the fact that neither China nor the U.S. has shown much interest yet in such a settlement. In private talks with Premier Chou En-lai and Foreign Minister Marshal Chen Yi,* Ayub sought to promote further trade and, more important, nail down an interest-free, $60 million loan, promised late last year to encourage Pakistani purchases of Chinese cement, textiles and machinery...

...Broker Hirschman and Clients Lieberman and Sapan spent weeks scanning likely factories and lofts, finally turned to the skies for inspiration and found it-on a helicopter tour that took them over an old terminal building with a five-acre roof. In October, the Penthouse Tennis Club-eight clay courts that are thermostatically heated, lit by soft overhead lamps and maintained by a full-time staff-will open for business at the foot of Manhattan. (Seven more courts will open later.) Some would-be tennis players may find the yearly membership fees (ranging up to $500 per person...
