...heightened the gear ratios on the cars that he sent to Germany. Result: though B.M.C. must buck steep tariff walls so long as Britain is not a member of the Common Market, its exports to the Continent are running twice as high as they were a year ago, now exceed its sales...
...years ago merged his Darling Stores into Grayson-Robinson and rapidly opened 43 discount branches. Expansion cost more than it brought in. When Manhattan's Bankers Trust called its $6,400,000 note last week, Gluck had to plead for a breather. Since his firm's assets exceed its debts, Gluck may well ride out the crisis...

The total energy of last fall's Soviet tests was much greater (170 mega tons), but most of it came from nuclear fusion, which creates little fallout. Only about 25 megatons came from nuclear fission of uranium or plutonium, and since many of the Russian tests were exploded at high altitudes, their...
