Maxwell Taylor, U.S. Ambassador to Saigon, back in the U.S. for consultation, referred to an "upward trend" in the fighting.

"We can cook steel to order in 20 minutes," says Vice President Grady L. Roark of Chicago's Acme Steel. With lean executive staffs, the smaller companies can also reorganize in a hurry to combat tough times. Delaware's long-ailing Phoenix Steel has been revamped in 19 months by new President Stanley Kirk, who has turned red ink to black by cutting the production force...
