...aftermath of the "glorious" invasion, Israel found itself ingloriously alone. It could boast of but one steadfast friend these days: France. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion warned of "difficult political struggles" ahead, not so much with "our enemies" as with "peoples who do not hate Israel." Other Israelis noted glumly that some $30 million in U.S. grants-in-aid and a $75 million U.S. Export-Import Bank loan, both approved long before Israel's invasion of Egypt, had not been released since...

If it did not, Esso would cancel its $2,000,000 modernization program at the Bayonne plant, and very likely move out altogether-just as Tidewater Oil Co. did two years...
...chief operating officer under Board Chairman David Sarnoff, who will remain chief executive officer, Burns will manage a vastly diversified electronics empire that has tripled its earnings since World War II, yet last year suffered a $7,500,000 drop in profits (to some $40 million), largely because of its expensive research and development in color TV. "RCA is paying a necessary price to develop color TV," says Burns. "Like all developments, there is an incubation period that costs money, then a rapid rate of growth when the product is right for the market and pays off." Burns will also...
