...full time to seeking a share of U.S. industry's $60 billion-a-year investment in new plants. The hunters not only outnumber the prospects but are growing adept at raiding each other's territory for corporate game, often with the state's Governor leading the foray. Governor John McKeithen and a 17-man team of Louisiana bigwigs recently visited Pennsylvania for a fast sales pitch to 139 firms. Governor William Scranton, having enlisted 130,000 businessmen in a group to tout Pennsylvania, has ventured to such places as Detroit, Toronto and San Francisco...
...President's Far Eastern swing. If for no other reason, it was an ideal time for Lyndon Johnson to hit the campaign trail, and so he did - with a bang. Displaying all the old evangelistic fervor of his 1964 campaign, the President made a fast-paced overnight foray into Maryland, New York and Delaware, at week's end prepared for a brief, last-minute appearance in Pennsylvania...

...dealings, a master charmer, a canny politician, greedy, and above all, always right in his purchases. Allowing for a bit of hyperbole, Sherman E. Lee of the Cleveland Museum of Art meets most elements of that prescription. Traveling 14,000 miles a year, he metaphorizes his annual buying foray into a military campaign: "One begins with strategy, continues with tactics, ends with responses to local situations." And, he might have added, measures his success-and ultimately that of his museum-by the trophies brought back from the battlefields of back rooms, auction houses and dealer-wheelings from Ipswich to Istanbul...
