To Management Consultant John Diebold, the man who invented the very word "automation," the thorough automation of the nation's newspapers can be expected by 1970.

Seeing how U.S. banks helped small businesses to get on their feet, Shoman decided that what the Arabs needed was their own bank-an enterprise that no Moslem had so far undertaken because of the Koran's injunction against usury.
