...recently signed a 20-year agreement with the Chilean government that should help stabilize the company's operations in that country; unlike its chief U.S. competitors, Kennecott and Phelps Dodge, both of which mine most of their copper at home, 65% of Anaconda's supply comes from Chile...
...long gain was nothing like 1965's 47% leap, Wilson seemed almost embarrassed. Some time in the future, he warned, "our percentage rate of growth must, of course, diminish." - Kennecott Copper, one of the three biggest U.S. copper producers, turned a first-half slump resulting from strikes in Chile into a booming year with profits up 22%, to $125 million. Thanks to heavy Pentagon orders and higher prices abroad, Kennecott is well polished for its upcoming $466 million merger with another profitmaker, St. Louis' Peabody Coal Co., second largest in the U.S. - The Pennsylvania Railroad, biggest...
...Feet by Five Miles. Gunther makes an entertaining guide.

...vote, the first of its kind in Chilean history, hit Frei where it hurt most-in his foreign relations. He has been assiduously strengthening ties with both East and West. Two weeks ago, Chile signed $55 million worth of credit and technical assistance agreements with Russia, making Chile Latin America's second-largest recipient of Soviet aid (after Cuba). On his trip to Washington, Frei was scheduled to have two meetings with President Johnson. Frei has been a prime organizer and spirit behind the hemisphere-wide summit conference scheduled for early April in Punta del Este, Uruguay, which Johnson...
