...taken care not to associate himself too conspicuously with Khrushchev's domestic policy. This policy, which Bialer characterizes as "sheer economic adventurism," proclaims the highest priority simultaneously for heavy industry, for consumer goods and for agriculture, and bases its hopes of fulfillment not on basic expansion of plant but on increased efficiency-to be won simply by decentralizing and streamlining the vast Soviet economic bureaucracy. Mikoyan, says Bialer, is too smart an economist and businessman to believe in such fantasies. Shortly before Khrushchev vowed that in five years Russia would be producing more meat, milk, butter than...

More important, National has found a way to slash the sponges' high cost by using liquid sodium instead of magnesium in the reduction process. Together, the two companies hope to have enough resources...
...Casbah in Algiers is a squalid slum overpopulated by 80,000 natives, where pimps and petty thieves dart about labyrinthian alleyways, secret passages and connecting rooftops. It is also a prime hideout for terrorists of the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN). From its recesses they fan out to plant bombs, stab and shoot, wreaking vengeance on Frenchman and moderate Arab alike. So far this year their bombs have killed 47 civilians, wounded 263 others; as a result, anyone now entering a bus. store or cinema in Algiers is automatically searched for arms or bombs...
