Echeverria's Under Secretary for Natural Resources and as reform administrator of the chaotic Federal Electricity Commission before receiving the Finance Minister's portfolio in 1973. Though he took responsibility two years ago for pushing through Echeverria's modest tax increase on high incomes, López Portillo gained the respect of Mexican businessmen. Most of them, after six years of polemics with Echeverria, look forward to Don Pepe's presidency with relief...
Most Thais seem to have accepted with relief or resignation the demise of then-chaotic three-year-old "democratic experiment." Bangkok has quickly recovered its sybaritic style. The city's annual autumn festivals, its race track and fleshpots are jammed with tourists. Shares on the local stock market have risen 70% in the past three weeks.

The nation's biggest producer, North Carolina's Holly Farms (weekly output: nearly 5 million broilers) is a subsidiary of Memphis-based Federal Co., a large flour miller, but other big companies have been unable to make a go of chicken raising. Ralston Purina, once No. 1 in the business, and Pillsbury...
...Force launched a top-secret investigation to prove whether or not the saucers were real, Psychoanalyst Carl Jung groped for a different sort of explanation. Flying saucers, he speculated, were really psychic projections of mankind's hope for the existence of a higher power in a frightening and chaotic world...
