...Matter of $50,000. Baker was one of nine defense witnesses. Glen S. Troop, an S & L industry lobbyist and former Baker crony, related, at Bittman's prodding, that the idea to raise the disputed campaign contributions had been Baker's-not, as Bobby had testified previously, a West Coast S & L executive's. More helpful was T. Edward Morris Jr., an official of Washington's National Savings & Trust Co., who said that Kerr had made visits to his safe-deposit box, number G-302, on Oct. 22 and Nov. 5, 1962-dates on which Baker...

In December she started out, her car sandbagged as a defense against land mines...
...production lines, choked with a $3.2 billion backlog in jet-airliner orders, but build a team able "to compete successfully for any future aerospace program." Lewis, a Georgia Tech-educated aeronautical engineer who will move into Douglas as soon as the merger is final, last week got an idea of the size of his job. The company did not even match Donald Jr.'s dismal prediction last July that fiscal 1966 "earnings, if any, would be nominal." It announced a $27 million loss...
