...midst of an otherwise dull mar ket, the New York Stock Exchange last week established an interesting new record. The exchange traded its 1,899,495,015th share of stock this year, exceeding the record for annual turnover that had been set only last year. Nobody in Wall Street knew for certain what the final quarter of the year would bring, but if activity continues at the pace of the first nine months, about 2.5 billion shares should change hands before the year ends...
...replies: "My father was the boss." Bonchy 's father, David, immigrated to London from Vilna (now in the U.S.S.R.), where, at the age of nine, he was set to work in a cap factory by his father, who spent his own days studying at a synagogue.

In the stifling heat, Smith grew impatient and imprudent. Alternately braking and accelerating, flicking his headlights on and off, Smith tailgated the police car. Finally, after a quarter-mile of tailgating, Smith tried to swing past the police. They...
...economic terms, Arab leaders are obviously playing a risky game. For all their threats, most Arab states would probably be reluctant to nationalize foreign oil properties, since they lack the technical and financial resources to mar ket oil on their own. Most likely, the Arabs are merely angling for more profitable revenue concessions from the oil companies. Yet the cost of such gains may well be a permanent loss of customers forced to find alternative oil sources during the boycott. The Arab strategy is having virtually no effect on either the U.S. or Israel.*The U.S. had been getting less...
