...stoppage was a two-edged sword. With little else to sustain them, the Arabs rely on oil royalties and taxes for $2.5 billion in annual income. And the longer the shutdowns lasted, the more the Arabs were out of pocket. Saudi Arabia alone was estimated to be losing $2,000,000 every day the Arabian American Oil Co. was closed down...
...those in Hong Kong, the Mexican offer is attractive to U.S. companies stung by rising U.S. labor costs. All fringe benefits included, unskilled labor in Tijuana runs at around 60? to 75? an hour, compared with as much as $2.40 in Los Angeles. In Ciudad Juarez, a sprawling poverty pocket (unemployment: 25,000 out of a labor force of 125,000) just south of El Paso, skilled machinists command a bare 50? an hour...
...almost nudes -running full-page and in every style from hazy photographic to weirdly Beardsley and hard-edge pop. And the reason the models looked so naked was that the merchandise they sported would take up no more space than there is inside a midget's vest pocket. The seasonal subject was summer beachwear, and the uniform of the day was the ever briefer bikini...
...those reductions phase in, probably starting the first of next year, U.S. consumers may enjoy slightly lower prices on imports. If history repeats, however, inflation will erase, or middlemen will pocket, much of the savings. In any case, even on a $5,000 Italian sports car, which now carries a $325 duty in the U.S., the anticipated 1968 reduction to importers would amount to only $32.50. The full tariff cut of $162.50 will become effective only after five years...
...median salary of $6,000 a year, the nation's 10,000 Episcopal clergymen are poor in pocket-and a lot more. After an 18-month study of Episcopal training, a committee chaired by Harvard President Nathan M. Pusey last week reported that a third of Episcopal clergymen lack a complete three-year seminary education. More than 60% of Episcopal seminarians graduated from college with average grades of C or below. Of all Episcopal clergymen, more than 12% never graduated from college at all. Worse, said Pusey, seminary training itself is "dated" and often irrelevant to the church...
