...better. This year Stewart, 30, has replaced King James as the Scottish ruler of the road. Last March, in the South African Grand Prix, first of the 1969 world championship Formula I series races, he roared into the lead on the very first lap, and has rarely been behind since. In the most astonishing driving display in Grand Prix history, Jackie raced his 430-h.p. Matra-Ford M580 to victories in Spain, The Netherlands and France. He lost at Monte Carlo only after a faulty drive shaft forced him to drop out one-third of the way through the race...
Sympathetic Voice. This modest effort in human relations was begun last March by the Senior Citizens' Pilot Project under the sponsorship of the Scott County Commission on Aging. Unlike the numerous Dial-a-Prayer switchboards and suicide-prevention centers, its purpose is neither to deliver canned messages of hope nor to cope with life-and-death crises, but to offer lonely callers a simple human connection.

The 5-to-3 decision forced the Government to yield not only its Hoffa records, but also those of ex-Heavyweight Champion Cassiu Clay's conversations with King and Elijah Muhammad.* Yet the Government had a far more important reason...
Where the Brains Are. CTIP is McKee's European foothold and a sizable operator in its own right. The firm has orders on its books for refineries and petrochemical plants worth $100 million. Last March, only one month after McKee appointed him joint managing director, CTIP's Gian Vittono Cavanna started secret negotiations with Technip, a French government-owned engineering firm. Without telling McKee, Cavanna signed a general agreement calling for a reshuffling of CTIP ownership among Technip, McKee and Italian companies. The idea was that divided leadership would enable CTIP employees to run their company themselves, rather...
