...taking on now will show them no real gains. But from the hard lessons they are learning in the lean years, they will be ready to ride the next big wave of world shipbuilding to solid profits. In the meantime, says Götaverken's Managing Director Hilding Nielsen: "We have to build big if we are to survive...
...officials used me for their excuse. 'How can you be for open tennis?' they asked each other, 'when you know it will fall into the hands of Kramer?'" At first, Kramer tried to build up the pro game, signed new players: Denmark's Kurt Nielsen, Chile's Luis Ayala, the U.S.'s Barry MacKay and Butch Buchholz.

"A beatnik," said one Taylor gumshoe last week, "is a vagrant with intellectual pretensions.'' ABC's The New Breed celebrates Lt.

Straightforwardly acted, it is an absorbing story of men rather than dum-de-dum-dum bunnies...
