...Nixon, he is running a campaign that is markedly similar to Goldwater's in 1964-striking a low posture to avoid overexposure, and all the while rounding up the state and county chairmen whose votes often determine the nominees. But there is a significant difference from 1964. Then, Goldwater stood unchallenged as the champion of the G.O.P.'s conservative wing, thus was able to prevail over the badly fragmented moderates. Now, Reagan's ascendancy poses the threat of a conservative split. Reagan, in fact, said of Nixon to one Republican Governor: "This guy's a loser...
...township and the 1959 triumph of two town board candidates in Indiana. "I would to God we could elect one good honest dry politician," cried Arizona Evangelist Charles W. Burpo last week, but no Andrew Volstead is in sight and the party's prospects are at best as low-proof as the beverages they would serve at any victory celebration...
...other Arab nations were in any position to help Nasser-or themselves. As a result of the Middle East oil embargo (see WORLD BUSINESS), Iraq's gold reserves are expected to dip perilously low. In Syria, which lost the vital revenues from two oil pipelines, the capital city of Damascus began rationing food last week.

...William M. Roth said in Washington, while Deputy W. Michael Blumenthal handled the signing, that under the new deal the industrial nations of the Kennedy Round would come out pretty much "in balance." The Common Market, long under fire for its unconscionably discriminatory duties, will gradually revert to the low tariff level of Germany in pre-Common Market days. Still, the Six would not tinker at all with high rates on electronic computers, automated machine tools, helicopters and other items vulnerable to technologically superior outside competition. The U.S. reduced duties on 6,000 imports. The maximum 50% tariff cuts should...
Altogether 115 Italian companies make appliances, but the bulk comes from six-Ignis, Zanussi, Zoppas, In-desit, Candy and Castor. Using newer, more automated plants than their competitors, the Italians ignore Europe's traditional luxury market to concentrate on a high volume of low-cost models for prospering workers. They cut heavily into the German washing-machine market by offering $250 washers v. the $375 lowest price for German machines. When the Germans stripped down their luxury models and reduced prices to match, the Italians cut their price...
