...majority of Republican voters." He reeled off the results of polls taken among Republicans, some by independent pollsters, some by his own public opinion specialist, Philadelphia's John Bucci: nationally, 62% of Republicans would vote for Johnson, only 29% for Goldwater; in New Jersey, 72% of Republicans prefer Johnson, 20% Goldwater; Maryland, 63% Johnson, 27% Goldwater; Ohio, 64% Johnson, 17% Goldwater; Iowa, 52% Johnson, 30% Goldwater; Minnesota, 46% Johnson, 44% Goldwater...
...shown that one of Scranton's greatest handicaps was that he was not broadly known across the U.S. But this week Gallup released the results of a new poll that demonstrated how dramatically the Scranton campaign has changed that picture. Gallup reported that rank-and-file Republicans now prefer Scranton over Goldwater, 55% to 34%. Just as significantly, among independent voters-and the G.O.P. will need plenty of them to defeat Johnson-Scranton is preferred by 62% to Goldwater...
...even list their shares on the Brussels Bourse. The tra dition of secrecy is stronger than the desire to attract mattress money; European companies commonly report only the skimpiest information about profits or forthcoming products.

...TILT ENGINES: Other aircraft designers prefer to keep their wings fixed and to swivel only the engine or the engine exhaust. The Curtis-Wright X-19 has four tillable engines on the tips of two stubby wings. The Bell X-22A has four tiltable propellers in circular ducts. Neither plane has yet completed successful tests, but two years ago the British were already flying the Hawker Siddeley P-1127, which has a single jet engine with 13,500 lbs. of thrust. During takeoff, the engine's exhaust gases are diverted downward, exerting enough thrust to lift the airplane...
...where the payoff is bigger. In Chile Camay soap rates high, since local brands are sudsless-and expensive. Scotch whisky is a durable favorite everywhere. (Enterprising Argentine distillers now produce under license a domestic brand labeled "Old Smuggler," but it cannot quite pass the hangover test, and customers still prefer the imported stuff.) U.S. autos bring a 300% markup on the legal market in Argentina, and there is a thriving undercover import business in crates marked "agricultural equipment." An even more sophisticated wrinkle is smuggling airplanes: near the seaside resort of Mar del Plata, Argentine police are currently investigating...
