There is also widespread resentment at Halleck's reluctance to parcel out responsible positions to younger Republicans. Ford, a onetime University of Michigan star linebacker, last week used football terms in pointedly promising that under his leadership every House Republican would be "a first-team player" and a "60-minute...
...Norway has more tonnage afloat than the U.S. One man who controls much of Norway's shipping is Niels Onstad, who lives in a spacious white mansion outside Oslo with his wife, onetime Skating Star Sonja Henie.

U.S. Steel limits its options to 300 top managers, and many other large companies give options only to vice presidents or chief executives. But General Electric spreads its 4,000,000 optioned shares among 1,555 employees, Westinghouse grants them to plant managers and research assistants, and Hewlett-Packard has even reserved some stock options for top salesmen...
