Among the biggest companies in the top ten, General Motors was No. 1, as always, in sales, followed by Standard Oil of New Jersey, Ford Motor Co. and General Electric. IBM moved up to fifth place, and Chrysler down to sixth, just ahead of Mobil Oil and Texaco. The largest gain among the big ten was made by that exclusive club's sole newcomer and only conglomerate, ITT, which scored a 34.6% sales increase, boosting it into ninth place, ahead of Gulf Oil.

...successful strategy against the economic monolith will not result from secretive acts of terrorism, but from mass actions against corporations and the government to achieve economic and social gains.
