...Brennan-Johnson position has two major arguments. The first is that an anti-ballistic missile system would considerably reduce U.S. Casualties in the event of nuclear war. Brennan believes that an ABM deployment costing between $10 and $20 billion could reduce casualties from 80 to 120 million to something like 20 to 40 million; a reduction from almost half the population to less than a fifth. He further contends, incontestably, given the urban concentration of American industry and assuming his previous statistics are accurate, that the nation's loss of productive capacity in a nuclear exchange would be reduced...
...overcome its chronic trade deficit, the main source of its precarious financial condition. Instead, the country wound up with a 1968 trade deficit of $1.1 billion, and the red ink has continued to flow this year.

Then, recalls Walter Haas Jr., 53, a great-grand-nephew of the founder and the firm's president since 1958, "we did something very basic. We began concentrating on the teen-age market." As its youthful customers grew older, the company kept their trade by bringing out "white Levi's" and later a full line of men's casual wear. Last year it introduced "Levi's for gals," a line...
Last week, in a deal that combined friendship with business acumen, the "21" Club became a part of the wide-ranging empire of Ralph E. Ablon, chairman of New York-based Ogden Corp. For about $10 million in stock, Ablon acquired the tangible assets of "21" (among them $250,000 worth of old English silver that graces its walls) as well as its valuable land and the three brownstones in which it operates. With the club came two offshoots: Iron Gate Products Co., importers of caviar, grouse and other delicacies, and "21" Club Selected Items Ltd., which imports cigars...
