...many of the major defense contractors sound surprisingly cheerful. "Most people think we would suffer if hostilities ended," says Chairman Daniel J. Haughton of Lockheed Aircraft "Just the opposite is true. Only 5% of our business results directly from Viet Nam." Says President G. William Miller of Rhode Island-based Textron: "A 20% cut in our defense contracts could easily be made up with only a 10% increase in our civilian sales." One reason is that civilian sales yield higher profit margins...
...columnist, and three others to his "personal staff." He also gave his tacit approval to the formation of a blue-chip Rockefeller for President Committee whose members include four Senators, four Governors, five former Republican national chairmen and 14 noted businessmen.

The show's multiple bed hoppings are cleverly managed by representing the beds with vertically hung sheets and blankets, behind which the actors slip...
Shrinking Output. Internationally, the wide-ranging reassessment of Rembrandt's prodigious output has resulted in a marked contraction of the number of oil paintings unquestionably attributed to the Leiden miller's gifted son. In 1923, the German art historian W. R. Valentiner listed some 700 genuine Rembrandts. In 1942, the Dutch scholar Abraham Bredius pared the total to about 620, and last year the German Kurt Bauch brought the number to 550. The end is not in sight.
