...millions more from other institutions. The institutions hold about 15% of the nation's $650 billion worth of common and preferred stocks, and such companies as G.M., A.T. & T., G.E. and IBM each have about 1,000 institutional investors. The institutions have more money than ever to invest these days, but their managers have put much of the cash into Government bonds while they shop around for bargain-priced stocks.

...produces so well. Western businessmen, in addition to turning handsome profits on the sale of plants and processes, gain entree to the East for sales of other goods. Moreover, if Eastern Europe's drift toward capitalism continues, the Communists may be willing some day to let Western businessmen invest in the East.
