...French love whatever comes out of a bottle, even if it happens to be water. Not ordinary water, of course, which they distrust. Last year they spent $160 million to buy 1.75 billion bottles of Eau minérale...

"Both of us possess unimaginable power," said the President. "Our responsibility to the world is heavier than that ever borne by two nations at the same time.

The fact is that, no matter how successful Lyndon Johnson may be politically, an increasing number of investors distrust his Administration's fiscal policies. Despite inflation and the rising cost of the war in Viet Nam, the Administration refuses to cut Great Society benefits; instead there is continuing talk about rescinding the law that now allows U.S. corporations to claim a 7% tax rebate on outlays for expansion...
