...least a decade, the nuclear-weapon and missile-development programs have been top-priority items for Peking, and are generously supplied with scarce capital equipment and even scarcer trained manpower. China is rich in the raw materials of the nuclear age, even used to export uranium ore to Russia before the ideological split in 1960. Its gaseous-diffusion plant at Lanchow is estimated to turn out enough U-235 to build some 20 bombs a year, and Peking now has as many as 80 bombs of various kinds in various stages of development. That rate will likely soar sharply...
...Peabody's design to refloat Lebanon's most important bank, the airline, real estate and other holdings will all be spun off into a separate investment company. Large depositors, including the U.S. Agriculture Department's Commodity Credit Corp., which had $22 million in Intra as an export loan covering surplus crop shipments, will be paid off in stock in the new company. Investors with less than 250,000 Lebanese pounds (about $80,000) in the bank will be able to get half their money back within the next three years, will receive the other half in stock...

Instead, they have been quietly permitted to export their produce to Jordan; a temporary bridge has been built next to the war-wrecked Allenby Bridge to allow Arab trucks to cross over to collect such produce...
...computer business, 90% of the microcircuit industry, 40% of its automaking, and sizable shares of chemicals, farm machinery and oil. In Britain, U.S. companies own half of all modern industry, employ one of every 17 British workingmen, manufacture 10% of all British goods for home consumption or export. U.S. firms also squeeze out twice as much profit from invested capital as their British competitors. Of this, they ship $225 million a year home, reinvest the rest for the long term abroad...
