...merger magician, Meshulam Riklis, 44, fits into a niche all his own. Starting in Minneapolis as a $50-a-week securities analyst, he stitched together a conglomerate composed of retailing, clothing, textile and theater companies with $1.4 billion a year in sales. Overextended and debt-laden, Riklis' empire almost collapsed five years ago. He rallied by selling off a big chunk of his complex to raise funds. Last week he climaxed his comeback by capturing his richest corporate prize yet: Schenley Industries...
...turned back the assault. In only one sector of the town were the Communists tem porarily successful, as they infiltrated almost two battalions into the southern fringes of Tay Ninh. In the ensuing battle, the allies were sorely tempted to use heavy weapons on dug-in Communist forces. Bomb-laden jets actually circled over the town at one point. But, in contrast to Tet and the May offensive, when whole blocks of cities and towns were knocked down, artillery and bombs were not used in Tay Ninh, and the Communists finally pulled out-after telling the population that they would...

The flight into Biafra is a dangerous trip through radar-guided Nigerian antiaircraft fire to a secret, kerosene-lit airstrip that one pilot describes as "little wider than a bicycle path." A medicine-laden aircraft crashed last month, killing its American pilot and two other Americans...
Like Stanley Grant, Behrman went to Salzburg in 1937, and the memory of a doom-laden summer started him on the book, the only novel he plans to write, nearly two decades later. "I knew what was coming," he said. "The streets were choked with Mercedes full of Nazis. But all that those dear people talked about was whether Mahler or Bruckner was a better composer-that was the big debate then. To this day I don't understand why they didn't see it and get out; but the sad truth is that no matter what public...
