...there was not a Weatherman among them. Quite the contrary. The first on the list of the indicted was none other than Charles D. Moeller, 48, president of both Sponge Rubber Products, a division of Grand Sheet Metal Products Co., and of their parent company, Ohio Decorative Products Inc. of Spencerville, Ohio. If convicted, Moeller could be sent to prison for a total of 60 years on six counts...
...Midwest. Housewives are enjoying the first fruits of the lower inflation rate. Jewel Companies, Inc., one of the Midwest's largest food chains (250 stores in five states), cut prices on 3,300 items from 2% to 28%. Competitors like A. & P. in Chicago and the Kohl food chain in Wisconsin made similar reductions. A few industries, notably those making machine tools and equipment for oil and coal extraction, are doing well, but recovery for most of the region's heavy industry and appliance makers still hinges on an upturn in housing and autos...

When it appeared that federal investigators were about to discover the gift, Jacobsen said, the pair agreed to formulate a false story that the money had remained in Jacobsen's safe-deposit box in an Austin, Texas, bank. On Oct. 29, 1973, said Jacobsen, Connally gave him $10,000 back, which Jacobsen placed in the safe-deposit...
Thirty years after World War II, "the greater co-prosperity sphere" in Asia-once the aim of an aggressive Japanese empire-has been achieved by Japan Inc., a vast army of devoted, disciplined businessmen. To Americans the Japanese too often appear as some sort of grotesque national parody-crowds of transistor salesmen with kamikaze pilots' scarves, legions of passionate new consumers teeming on a string of islands which are about to sink beneath their growing population and industrial swill...
