...after nearly four years of retrenchment, Nestlé (1983 sales: $12.7 billion) is once again hungry to add American names to its list of bestselling brands, which includes Nescafé, Quik, Nestea and L'Oréal. In January, Nestlé acquired Ward-Johnston, the candy company that produces such matinee munchies as Raisinets, Goobers and Sno-Caps, and in April it signed an agreement to buy Hills Bros, coffee. Last week the company announced plans to purchase Los Angeles-based Carnation, the leading maker of evaporated milk, for about $3 billion, or $83 a share. The deal will...

Out in the older collective settlements, where palm-shaded bungalows hedged by bright bougainvillea and hibiscus have long since supplanted the rude huts, basketball courts and swimming pools indicate that the new generation of native-born Israelis prefer sports...
Long before the first cyclists huffed into sight, the quiet provinces were invaded by a loud caravan of sound trucks and spielers. Everywhere, the ear was assaulted by pitchmen peddling Nescafé, Cinzano, Perrier water, soap flakes, rubber tires. L'Equipe sent a nightclub songstress to put on her act wherever the Tour stopped for the night. A few irritated sportsmen muttered that no one would have noticed if the bike riders never showed...
