Penchant for Pennies. American Home has grown faster than ever under William F. Laporte, 54, a somewhat shy and self-effacing salesman who succeeded Brush as board chairman in 1965. Son of a Passaic, N.J., banker who was a longtime friend of Brush, Laporte became an American Home sales trainee in 1938, after graduating from Princeton and Harvard Business School. Under his leadership, American Home has stepped up diversification. In 1965, the company bought Chicago-based Ekco Products Inc. for $145 million, thus became the world's biggest maker of pots, pans and other kitchen utensils. Then it outmaneuvered...
Last Monday, Pennsylvania's Joe Burk spoke to the weekly luncheon of crew coaches, and as much as told them his crew had the speed to beat Harvard this year. He said his oarsmen were "ten seconds faster than Vesper...
...Korea hopes to persuade the U.S. to provide two more destroyers, plus a fleet of speedy (30 to 40 knots) patrol boats that can keep up with the fast Soviet engines that power the North Korean spy boats along the coast. Park is also pressing the U.S. to provide faster planes. Right now, his air force has 300 fighters, mostly F-86 Sabre jets, compared with North Korea's 450 fighters, most of which are MIG-15s and MIG-17s, with a sprinkling of MIG-21s. While South Korea awaits a promised squadron of Phantom...
...more and more first-quarter earnings were reported last week, it was clear that a large segment of U.S. business was doing better and better. Observers were quick to point out that during the first three months of 1968, wages rose faster than prices, a situation that points to a profit squeeze ahead. And the returns were not yet complete enough to set a pattern in any major industry. Still, the statistics suggested that business made impressive gains compared to the recession-tinged first quarter of 1967. A sampling...
...Cambridge University group that discovered pulsars (TIME, March 15), revealed the positions and the pulse rates of pulsars 2, 3 and 4. One of them blips every 1.27 seconds, another at 1.19-second intervals-close to the 1.34-second period previously reported for pulsar 1. Pulsar 4 pulses significantly faster: every quarter of a second. In addition, Hewish estimated that the fast-pulsing source is only 50 light-years away, compared with the 200-light-year distance he calculated for pulsar...
