...oldest advertising campaigns in the $14 billion liquor industry have lately taken a new direction. For 32 years, Hiram Walker & Sons' Canadian Club "adventure series" has shown men trying far-out sports in faraway places, giving up finally to enjoy their favorite highball. Last month for the first time, the adventure included a woman mountain climber, who paused halfway up a rock face to ask: "Do I really have to do this sort of thing to earn my Canadian Club?" Meanwhile, Seagram Distillers Co., whose moderation ads since 1933 have cautioned fathers and counseled sons on drinking, switched pictures...
...most serious for Britain, which gets two-thirds of its oil from the Arabs and has only a 30-day stock on hand. France and Italy, neither of whom was singled out for retaliation by the Arabs, count on their cross-Mediterranean neighbors for about 80% of their oil. Faraway Japan was also affected. With no oil of their own, the Japanese get about 1,250,000 barrels of oil a day, or 60% of their needs, from the Arabs. As for the U.S., it has more than enough oil of its own, and the tankers loading last week...
...desire to "test our latest weapons." Although the Administration's policy may be objectionable for other reasons, such strident rhetoric is not only of doubtful value in rallying Negroes against the present policy, but may alienate moderate whites.

In identifying with "doves," the civil rights movement--which will always need moderate white support--must be selective. This is not to say that Negroes should abandon forever the notion of backing a third party if Johnson continues on his present...
...conceded that the general had given no indication whether he would say oui or non if Britain made formal application for market membership-which it intends to do by spring. The aftersounds from Pans were discouraging. Foreign Minister Couve de Murville hinted that Britain still seemed too preoccupied with faraway commitments to qualify for De Gaulle's Europe. Undiscouraged, Wilson planned to continue his present round of Common Market capitals (he goes to Brussels and Luxembourg this week), in hopes that those on the inside could somehow prevail on De Gaulle to change his mind...
...Russia, often at prices 30% below the world market. But East Germany has also built up its own fleet. Today, its black, red and yellow flag flies over 155 ships. VEB vessels last year carried 6,200,000 tons of cargo to 340 ports, ranging from nearby Hamburg to faraway Haiphong, while two 600-passenger cruise ships carried vacationers to Scandinavia, Scotland and Iceland...
