Shares in a formerly obscure company named National Video Corp. jumped from 97⅛ to 111½ in a single day after National announced it was doubling production of color TV tubes to 1,000,000 a year.

Within an hour, the OAS soldiers set up sandbagged emplacements throughout the l-sq.-mi. stronghold that leftist rebel partisans still call "sacred revolutionary soil." Shouted curses and a few harmless sniper shots greeted the troops. Most of the city's 500,000 frightened citizens could give thanks that the OAS was acting in the nick of time to prevent the Dominican...
