...White House Aide Joe Califano, "wants controls." Nonetheless, the Federal Government's influence over U.S. business is growing steadily more pervasive and persistent-and effective control of prices, by whatever name it is called, is part of that influence. Last week, as if to prove the point, the copper industry rescinded its recent price hikes just two days after the Government announced that it would sell at least 200,000 tons of copper from its stockpile...
...Autos. The Government's release of stockpiled copper was different from its aluminum dumping. Copper is in short supply, partly because of the increased demands of the Vietnamese war, and the industry actually welcomed the Government's release of the metal as a way to help avert bottlenecks.

Preliminary readings have already detected sodium, ionized calcium, iron, nickel, copper and potassium. Last week James Westfall, a young Caltech scientist, reported that his infrared observations of Ikeya-Seki were probably the first ever made of a comet. He is certain that the infrared emissions came from the comet itself and were not reflected sunlight. Analysis of this data should give...
