...commentators had kind words for the United Nations. What the war shows, wrote Washington Post Columnist David Broder, is that "once the U.S. enters an arena of international politics, it cannot opt out.

The deterioration of the U.N. as a moral and political force in world affairs has been revealed more clearly by the Mideast crisis than by any other event in recent years. That is an unpleasant fact, but it can no longer be evaded, even by those in our country who have found in Secretary-General...

Earnestly following the expansion of U.S. business abroad, the bank's overseas branches have more than doubled to 206 in spots from Chile to Chad. And having pioneered the personal loan in 1928, the bank now offers nearly every kind of financial service from...
...years as chief of the Deutsche Bank, West Germany's largest, Hermann Josef Abs became the most distinguished figure in German finance. Only last year, no less an authority than David Rockefeller, president of the U.S.'s globe-spanning Chase Manhattan Bank, called him "the leading banker in the world." Suave, witty and self-assured, Abs was more than a banker: a confidant and consultant to monarchs and politicians, he became an unofficial ambassador to the world's financial centers and the undisputed éminence grise of German business...
