But it also reflects the indisputable fact that life under the Israelis has not been as harsh as most Palestinians had feared. Money and private cars have been in short supply since the war, and the West Bank telephone system, sabotaged by the departing Jordanians, is still a shambles. But food is plentiful, including the fresh sea fish that Palestinians love and the Jordanians were unable to supply. More important, there have been no mass repressions...

Geneen tightened up Raytheon's cost controls, arranged fresh credit from the banks, squeezed out new working capital. He saw to it that Raytheon paid its bills on time, to take advantage of the standard prompt-payment discount; at the same time he insisted that Raytheon's debtors pay up pronto. Anxious to infect the entire company with his own profit consciousness, Geneen...
...business interests might encourage the company to influence ABC's public-affairs programming. Justice's other key objections are that the merger would result in a cash drain away from already-strapped ABC (both companies insist that, on the contrary, ITT would be supplying the network with fresh capital) and that it would restrain competition...
