...weeks ago, the company was accused of dumping 1,500 barrels of crude into the Santa Ana River after a mud slide broke a pipeline. Twice in 1967, the company was brought up on violations of California fish and game statutes for polluting Los Angeles harbor. Indeed, its competitors complain that Union is giving the industry a bad name. After the disaster, representatives of oil companies operating rigs off Santa Barbara met quietly to decide, as one participant put it, whether "to take the drop from the gallows together." Reluctantly, they agreed to back Union-at least for the time...
...says Kenneth Ward, senior vice president of Hay den, Stone & Co., a Manhattan-based brokerage house. That was 37 years ago, when Ward was one of a hardy but much heckled band of analysts who presumed to forecast stock prices merely by reading lines on charts. Ward can hardly complain of the following that has since been won by Wall Street's chart-oriented technicians. Practically every house and mutual fund has one or more chartists in its research department, and thou sands of individual subscribers pay any where from $150 to $500 a year for the scores...
...Trust Co., because "amateurs just don't know enough to recognize a deterrent." Even if they do, today's bank robbers are far more sophisticated than Bonnie and Clyde.

"We have nothing to complain about," claims the head of Beirut's Jewish community. "Why should I go to Israel?" a Jewish real estate dealer asks. "Those people in Israel are practically Socialists, you know." Morocco's 50,000 Jews get along reasonably well with the government; emigration is permitted, and persecution is all but nonexistent. Tunisia's 10,000 Jews live quietly. There are only about...
Overpowering Effect. Now completed except for landscaping and the interior of some floors, the Hancock Center will bring 8,000 new residents and office workers-plus 1,000,000 visitors a year-into a neighborhood that is already congested with cars and people. Some Chicagoans complain that the massive building, designed by the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (TIME cover, Aug. 2), .has an overpowering effect on the far smaller buildings around it. Still, Chicago seems eager to utilize the space provided by the new skyscraper, as evidenced by the fact that 39% of its apartments...
