Angry Confrontation. Early last week, when 21 South Vietnamese generals convened in Saigon, their immediate concern was exiled General Duong Van Minh, who wanted to return from Bangkok and campaign for the presidency. "Big Minh," who led the 1963 coup against Ngo Dinh Diem but was ousted as chairman of the Military Revolutionary Council only three months later, retains wide popular appeal. The generals quickly decided to keep him out of the country. Then they turned to an even graver problem-the feud between General Thieu (pronounced Choo), a phlegmatic, 44-year-old career soldier who is known...

Dramatizing the role it can play, Cat recently completed a test project in Costa Rica demonstrating that modern equipment can clear the densest jungle thicket for about $50 an acre; with older methods, the cost can run as high as $500. Beyond immediate clearing jobs, Caterpillar can expect to reap long-range...
Peace & Harmony. The Shapiros have a special taste for ice cream, since their $100 million concern began in 1911 as a Boston ice-cream-cone bakery. Immigrating there from Russia, Brothers Nathan and Joseph Shapiro devised a technique of using rotary bakers instead of the single-line machinery in common use. Borrowing $10,000 from an uncle, they formed their own company, soon moved it to Baltimore-logically assuming that, since the weather there was warmer ice-cream sales would be higher...
