Last year reduced consumer spending and the consequences of stockpiling in expectation of a long copper strike caused sales to dip to $352 million and earnings to $13 million. But Baldrige expects 1968 sales and earnings to be every bit as good...

His "traveling committee," representing the firm's unions, made its overriding aim to negotiate contracts for all Campbell plants at the same time. Meat Cutters Union Local President Clarence Clark claims that the old system enables the company to "play one union against another." By contrast, management views...

Mapping the Milky Way. This week the satellite will receive a radio command from earth and begin to unfurl its giant antenna system. Carried as flat ribbons of silver-plated copper alloy coiled on spools within the satellite, the tubular legs will be formed as the outer edges of the unwinding ribbons curl towards each other and meet. Tiny tabs along the edges of the ribbon will hook together as the tubeb forms, adding rigidity. At first, the antenna legs will be extended only 358 ft. from the craft, to test their stability. Then they will grow to their full...
