As its goal, the Alianza aimed at increasing the per-capita growth rate of each country by a whopping 2.5% a year. To get the cash, each Latin American country would submit a blueprint for social reforms-from schools to housing to tax collection to cutting up the wealthy landowners' huge holdings for small farmers...
Geneva's headwaiters beamed indefatigably last week as pealing nightclub and restaurant cash registers heralded the return of the 17-nation disarmament conference after a five-month recess. Their euphoria even infected the café au lait-colored Palais des Nations, where some 200 reassembled officials settled back into their bronze and green leather chairs-as usual, leaving three seats vacant for nonattending France-and prepared for the sixth antiwar jaw session since the disarmament conference got under way in 1962.

He took hold of the seemingly unmanageable collection of divisions, some of which hid their cash from the others, and shook hard; he brought order out of chaos, and thus geared the company for a growth that hardly anyone else foresaw. He instituted G.M.'s famed-and often copied-system of "decentralization with coordinated control," emphasized selling autos on the installment plan, and set up G.M.'s first efficient auto-dealer system...
