...Textbooks have always been a drag on sales, though Coop members find that hard to believe," Zavelle said. He explained that textbooks require a large outlay for slow sales. The new store, only 30 per cent larger than a single floor of the Palmer St. Annex, will contain a medical text reference department, and will not have room for more...
...billion, and related costs such as foreign military assistance and Atomic Energy Commission activities bring the total to $79.8 billion, an increase of $3.3 billion over this year. Total expenditures for Viet Nam are estimated as rising $1.3 billion, to $26.2 billion, or 14? of each $1 in federal outlay. Large as the military figure is, it provides for no dramatic expansion in any segment of the defense establishment. Nearly all the extra funds are absorbed by Viet Nam, higher pay scales, and relatively small increases...
...Zaccharias plan avoids all of these problems. After an initial funding period of about 20 years, the proposed Bank would be self-sustaining. Borrowers would begin to re-pay more than they had been loaned, so there would be no need for perpetual government expenditures.

All these factors makes it hard to offer such a game to the public; the expense alone limits its availability to all but wealthy organizations...

To gear itself to foreign competition, it is now in the final phase of a four-year, $1.7 billion capitalization program. It was partly because of that outlay that pre-tax profits dropped steadily over the past three years, to $242 million in 1966. Whatever happens, I.C.I, now does more business abroad than at home, and Chambers thinks that it is in an ideal position "to get in at the top of the next boom...
