...qualifying trials! Jimmy Clark blazed around the 2½-mile Indy oval at 149.7 m.p.h., announced "I'll take it," and scooted back to Europe for some real racing. Trying to crack 150 m.p.h., Dan Gurney plowed into the Speedway wall and demolished his Lotus. Climbing out unhurt, he borrowed a spare and clocked 149 m.p.h.

"Go into even the smallest village in Indonesia," an Indonesian army officer once complained, "and you will find one man whose house...
...equipment. He has boosted sales from $3,000,000 to $30 million yearly, quadrupled net profits against stiffening competition from other ambitious Arab businessmen. He tripled his total staff to 500, is converting his business from handwritten, single-entry ledgers to computers, has trained a corps of crack salesmen and sent his technicians off to Beirut, England and the U.S. for training. Handling dealerships for such companies as Chrysler, Kaiser Jeep, Gulf Oil, Philco, Whirlpool and National Cash Register, Bader has ridden on Kuwait's boom. Last year his sales included 1,000 cars, 4,000 air conditioners...
