...insult the politically sensitive producing nations. But the I.T.C. is not a very toothy dragon because the U.S., which accounts for 23% of the world's annual tin consumption of 215,000 tons, refuses to join on the grounds that the I.T.C. smacks too much of an international cartel. Last month Washington rebuffed an I.T.C. attempt to negotiate price controls on sales from the U.S. surplus stockpile. And it took buying by the I.T.C. itself, increasing its reserves by about 600 tons, to stop the price slide at $1.03. The London Economist complained: "The I.T.C. got a better response...
...other European fiber makers increasingly invading the Dutch market, A.K.U. is fighting harder than ever to expand abroad. The company recently set up a new subsidiary to manufacture nylon in Northern Ireland and is eagerly eying the prospects for growth within the Common Market. Long a contented party to cartel arrangements in Europe, A.K.U. insists that some of its traditional market-splitting agreements with other Continental textile manufacturers are still necessary.

And the parthenogenetic blonde dies because she has been taught everything-except how to swim...
...Cologne speech: "We say that the Federal Republic must cultivate and develop the relationship of trust with the United States." From SPD Economic Pundit Heinrich Deist there was no kind word for nationalization of industry; instead, he urged free competition, mildly suggested that capitalism be improved by better anti-cartel legislation and restriction of lobbyists...
...director of Fisons Ltd. another multimillion-dollar British chemical company. A onetime boarding school teacher who sparked Fisons to much-needed modernization and expansion. Wormald accused I.C.I, of wanting "to obtain complete control of the manmade fiber industry in this country in order to participate in a European fibers cartel," predicted that if the merger went through, "every important chemical company in Britain will ultimately succumb." Last week, Fisons' board accepted Wormald's month-old offer to resign. The split, insisted all hands, was in no way influenced by a demand from I.C.I, that Fisons disavow "Mr. Wormald...
