...corner. Much of the 1966 loss could be traced to the fact that it had decided to write off its entire inventory of obsolescent machines and concentrate on a new copier called the Super-Stat. President Clayton Rautbord, 40, also increased his company's sales force. The payoff has been handsome. A compact, relatively low-cost ($985) machine, the Super-Stat has caught on where the company's earlier dry-process copiers foundered. Last week Rautbord announced record 1967 sales of $35,618,000. Even more important was the black ink-a profit...
SUPER BOWL (CBS, 3 p.m. to conclusion). The champions of the N.F.L. v. the champions of the A.F.L., with a payoff differential of $15,000 against $7,500 per man riding on the outcome. Live from Miami...

Since his sight was not calibrated for that distance, the Marine estimated the necessary high trajectory, worked in some Kentucky windage to allow for the breeze, and squeezed off three rounds. The third hit the Viet Cong officer in the head. He was dead before the crack of the rifle ever reached his ears. "A lucky shot," the sergeant conceded. But he and his sniper buddies have...
...ball at midfield. Gatto again was the primary instrument of attack. The squat scatter showed all the moves that gained 700 yards last year and, some claimed, a few new ones, as he reversed fields for a 16-yard pickup, then carried 19 yards for a touchdown. On the payoff play, left end Fritz Reed took care of two Leopards, and Gatto's cutting and deception took care of the rest...
...their way in by the classic route of price cutting. They generally charge at least 10% less than the manufacturer's rental fee. In doing so, they are betting that they can keep their costly machines continuously leased for as long as ten years, or about double the payoff time on which manufacturers base their own rents...
