...nationally televised game called Password one night last week, a contestant stared her partner in the eye and asked him for the word that people most logically associate with "cigarette." Without hesitation, the partner blurted: "Cancer." The audience roared with laughter and applause, and the master of ceremonies gulped, as if seeing all the leaders of the $8 billion-a-year U.S. tobacco industry frowning collectively at him. The health issue has caused the tobacco industry to slide from peaks that it may never reach again...
...airline experts feel, Northeast has next to no chance of survival. Through his attorneys, elusive Industrialist Howard Hughes, who controls Northeast, began intense negotiations to stall off Vickers and General Dynamics until he can line up other planes to keep Northeast flying. He obviously hopes to find a merger partner, but since Northeast is staggering under a $60 million debt, a merger may be difficult to arrange...
Much for Few. There is no doubt that the Government has become the pervasive senior partner in most research. Ten years ago, U.S. business financed two-thirds of the nation's research; today Government finances two-thirds of it-to the benefit of relatively few industries.

"It used to be," says...
...commodity market that is in better shape than ever is the esoteric and specialized worldwide market in postage stamps. In Manhattan last week, the costliest stamp in history was auctioned for $41,000 by Bernard Harmer, U.S. partner of London's H. R. Harmer Ltd., the world's leading stamp firm. It is a pale blue, unused 2? Hawaiian Missionary stamp-so called because such stamps were mostly used by Christian missionaries writing home in the mid-19th century-and it replaced the renowned British Guiana one-cent magenta ($32,900) as the world's most valuable...
