Deft Touch at Power. The street scene was the most dramatic display yet of Suharto's blossoming as a strongwilled, articulate leader. Last month he showed a deft touch at power politics with a Cabinet reshuffle that put the feuding military directly under his control and effectively dissolved the old ruling triumvirate in which he had shared power with Foreign Minister Adam Malik and the Sultan of Jogjakarta. Now Suharto is burnishing his style as well as his tactics...
...receive the new Czech Ambassador to Cambodia and condemn "the criminal American aggression against Viet Nam that menaces our country"-while his Foreign Affairs Ministry issued one of its frequent denunciations of America's "barbarous bombings" of civilians. Once he took Jackie's limousine past a display of a shot-down American plane, having justified himself in advance with an apology to newsmen: "Please excuse me. You Americans have killed many people." And everywhere he blithely referred to his love for President Kennedy, although it was his official government radio that, not long after the assassination, thanked "divine...
Nowhere was Italy's automania more evident last week than at Turin's 49th annual International Motor Show. Huge crowds packed 580 displays from 15 nations, including the Soviet Union. Most popular of all, with its dazzling display of models in attractive shapes and sizes, was Turin's own Fiat, which is having its best year ever. At home, Fiat has cornered 75% of the market.

Leaf through some of the highly regarded trade journals. The September 2, 1967, issue of TELEPHONY, for example, contains 73 display advertisements selling a wide variety of communications products. Not one uses sex in any form whatsoever. Since most of the advertisers are "regulars" one must assume they do very well without using sex. All sixty display advertisements in the August, 1967, issue of ELECTRONIC PROCUREMENT told their story, sold their products, without sex symbolism of any kind. We could parallel this in dozens of fine commercial and industrial publications that move millions of dollars' worth of goods and services...
Look at FORTUNE--a publication with its greatest appeal to businessmen. The September 15, 1967, issue has over 130 display advertisements in its 220 pages. Less than half a dozen picture a female. The few that do, show their models fully clad, and necessary to the advertisements. (One is a recording star, another the designer of a chair featured in the advertisement.) Apparently the tastes of FORTUNE readers--mainly businessmen--do not dictate the use of sex symbolism...
