...businessmen traveling to Moscow to sell. For many executives, a one-week business swing through Moscow has lately acquired the cachet that in the fifties attached to reconnaissance for branches in Western Europe. The list of firms and trade groups that have sent representatives in recent weeks includes ITT, Deere & Co., the Illinois Agricultural Association, and the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association. From a series of interviews with visiting U.S. executives, TIME Moscow Bureau Chief John Shaw has compiled a guide to doing business with the Soviets. His report...
McGovern's attempt to make correction a chief issue in the campaign was unsuccessful. Pointing to a range of alleged scandals involving dairy farmers, wheel formers, ITT, and the bugging of the Democratic headquarters at Watergate, McGovern called the Nixon Administration "the most corrupt in American history." These criticisms seemed to backfire, however, as many voters objected to their shrill tone

But there are smaller, independent toilers in Eastern vineyards who so far have remained relatively obscure. Sometimes acting as middlemen for big deals, sometimes hunting up products and processes to sell on their own, these new Marco Polos have perhaps done more to expand the frontiers of East-West trade than the emissaries of giant corporations.
