...mark to 526 m.p.h. last year before Art Arfons took it away with a 536-m.p.h. clocking. Breedlove wrecked the original Spirit by driving it into a salt pond, and this fall he was back at Bonneville with a four-wheeled, jet-powered monstrosity that looked like the product of a union between a pop bottle and a fighter plane. The car was powered by a General Electric J-79 engine (the same kind used in the Air Force's F-104), which Breedlove picked up in Charlotte, N.C., for $7,500-$170,000 below its original cost.

After that debacle, cranberry growers decided that they needed a broader base for their industry, began to push the berries as a year-round dish. Two years ago they hired as Ocean Spray's general manager Edward Gelsthorpe, a sharp product executive with Colgate-Palmolive and a summertime sailor who was attracted by the idea of living year-round on Cape Cod. Gelsthorpe was also attracted by Ocean Spray's possibilities. "It took only superficial analysis," he says, "to realize how little had been done with cranberries...
People buy foreign goods for many reasons: novelty, fashion, durability, economy, snob appeal. Whatever the reasons, U.S. imports traditionally run at about 3% of the gross national product.

The copying machines will turn out 10 billion or more copies in 300,000 U.S. offices this year; by 1970, they will be producing 25 billion copies, and the industry's sales will top $1 billion. SCM President Emerson Mead predicts that desktop copiers will eventually become so compact and inexpensive that many a secretary will have one right next to her typewriter. His confidence in the future market for such time-savers...
...went on to design the first Volkswagen in 1936. He also had a hand in designing the Panther, Elefant and Tiger tanks that terrorized Europe in World War II, spent two years in a French prison as a war criminal. Porsche's postwar success is a product of his son, Ferry Porsche, 56, a cautious, brooding engineer. Ferry brought Porsche from a garage in Gmünd, Austria to a glass-and-concrete factory outside Stuttgart, where 2,400 workers now turn out 56 cars a day-every one handmade and every engine stamped with the initials...
