...Much Time? With equal firmness, De Gaulle rejected the implication that his government had made no progress toward settling the four-year-old Algerian revolt. One by one, he ticked off France's recent accomplishments in Algeria: the extension of equal and universal suffrage to Algeria's Moslems; the progress of a program to provide schooling for all Moslem children ("There are a lot of them"); and, most important, the Constantine Plan, under which France will pour $420 million into industrial and agricultural development of Algeria in the next year. "By comparison," he said, "the desperate battles...
Fall Flat? For all his confidence, Romney does not underestimate the threat he faces-or expect anyone to underestimate him. "We don't have research and development facilities in magnitude equal to the Big Three," he says. "But we have greater freedom and flexibility of operation. We're leaner. We're harder. We're faster. I've seen halfbacks, out in the clear, trip and fall flat with a sure touchdown in sight. That sort of thing could happen to anybody." Then Romney breaks into a wide grin: "But I don't intend...
WBBM-TV protested that the equal-time provision did not and should not apply to regular news broadcasts-as the FCC had applied it in the Daly case.

TV-radio licensees-take notice! Forewarned is forearmed...
...American Stock Exchange last week, the frenetic trading almost swamped the tickers. In one day, trading boiled to 3,520,000 shares, highest since 1929 and equal to 93% of that day's volume on the New York Stock Exchange. So far this year, volume has equaled 53% of the New York Stock Exchange's, v. 32% last year. Unable to keep pace with the new popularity, the AmEx tape often trails five, ten, even 25 minutes behind. Its nearly 1,300 tickers, which transmit prices to 215 cities, print only 300 characters a minute. But able AmEx...
