...Bonanza series into short stories because of their "proven popularity." To save on paper, the Post is shaved in 1966 by one-eighth or an inch along the top and bottom and one-sixteenth along the sides. Ackerman, faced with the possible loss of $400,000 in Ford Motor Co. advertising, suddenly tells the Ford representative: "You know, I really can't understand why you'd take all your advertising out of this issue when we're going to have Mr. Ford's picture on the cover. I mean, Mr. Ford might not like that." Ackerman...

It is no surprise that "R" is hard to find; he is said to travel constantly between COSVN's different units by motor bike.

Acting on a tip, two infantry battalions raced to a bunker complex near Mimot, only to find the place all but deserted. One wounded Communist who had been left behind told about the staff...
Jones was inspired to invent his tester by highway statistics, which show that half of the drivers involved in fatal accidents have alcohol in their blood.

Lockheed's defense woes were compounded by some troubles with its contracts to build the Cheyenne helicopter, the motor for the SRAM (or short-range attack missile) and military ships. The Government has partially reimbursed Lockheed for some of its losses, but all together the four programs could conceivably wind up costing the company $1 billion...
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. U.S. Steel, a member of the club since the list was first published in 1955, dropped...
