Haider today is a combination of grit and polish. He hates cold weather from his tours in Canada, speaks acceptable Spanish from his connections with Latin America. He enjoys opera, frequently attends performances in New York with U.S. Steel Chairman Roger Blough, another buff. On business trips, he likes to get up a Cajun card game known as Bouree, a variety of pitch in which pots get increasingly more costly. He seldom loses at Bouree, but he can afford it if he does. For running its global empire, Jersey Standard last year paid him $395,833 in salary and bonuses...
...Third Power. Haider, and chief executives like him, will be needing all the polish they can muster in the year ahead. The pace of U.S. globalization is so vigorous that other nations are increasingly concerned and cantankerous about it. "Actually," says Csf.'s Danzin, "there is no European government strong enough to prevent an American company from dominating a market." Jean-Jacques Servan Schreiber, whose book The American Challenge describes the problem and has become a runaway bestseller on the Continent, prophesies: "The third industrial power, after the U.S. and the Soviet Union, could easily be in 15 years...
John Hanbury Angus Sparrow, a congenital skeptic and distinguished Oxford don whose obiter dicta have em braced such disparate subjects as the Profumo Affair, Lady Chatterley and the plagiarisms of a 17th century Polish poet, last week published his scholar's evaluation of the Warren Commission Report and its critics. A Latinist, an attorney by training and, for the last 15 years, warden of All Souls College-one of the most eminent posts in British academe-wartime Guardsman Sparrow, 61, concluded empirically that the Warren Report on the assassination must stand and that the "demonologists" who so often attack...
...that the Viet Cong really halt their terror. That job is supposed to be done now by the three-nation International Control Commission (Canada, India, Poland), a leftover from the Geneva Conference of 1954. But the commission lacks the manpower, vehicles and-on the part of its Polish and Indian members-the will to do the task. Any future system of inspections and guarantees would have to involve many more nations, many more troops, trucks and planes, and a system of sanctions. Even with that, it would depend on a shaky combination of mutual good will and mutual blackmail between...
...something better was needed. In 1959, after seven years and $20 million worth of research, Pilkington announced a float process for making sheet and plate glass that revolutionized the industry. In it, glass forms while floating on a surface of molten tin, and there is no need to polish it afterward. Float glass, moreover, has less distortion than glass made by earlier processes...
