...month struggle by Chicago's Northwest Industries to take over the B.F. Goodrich Co. has long since won wide recognition as a classic display of corporate attack and counterattack. The aftermath of Northwest's unsuccessful campaign, which ended last summer, is becoming a textbook case in its own right. Keenly sensitive to Northwest's charges of poor management performance, the Akron rubber company has undergone an extensive purge in its white-collar ranks (TIME, Dec. 26).

To overcome the argument that his policies had encouraged anti-Semitism among black radicals, he went, yarmulke on head, to synagogues to plead his case...
...Design Homes, which brought out a line of completely furnished aluminum-clad houses priced from $8,500 to $12,500, not including the lot and foundation. Indiana-based National Homes, one of the biggest manufacturers of prefabricated houses, opened its first modular plant last January. In a major industrial counterattack, National has also moved into mobile-home construction...
