...karts next to the burly Offies. They weighed only 1,130 Ibs. compared with nearly 1,400 Ibs. for the lightest Offy. Their power plants were Ford Fairlane V-8s-souped up to 376 h.p., but with carburetors, yet-and they got their nourishment from the good old Esso pump. Their drivers: Scotland's Jimmy Clark, 27, and the U.S.'s Dan Gurney, 32, veterans of the European Grand Prix circuit, greenhorns at the Brickyard. Their chances? "It's nice to see them in the race," said two-time winner Rodger Ward nearsightedly...

The government proclaimed a dusk-to-dawn curfew around northern Iraq's oilfields, pump stations, airfields, and military depots, warned that violators would be "shot on sight."

Nearly every day, the sheik sat cross-legged in his throne room holding a majlis, at which he listened to complaints of citizens, while Bedouin chiefs grouped around him, some holding on their...
...high prices and to shop for alternate shipping lines. Containing the Cargo. Powell has modernized the line's management and stepped up modernization of its fleet. Matson has converted one freighter into a floating garage to haul cars to Hawaii, and two others into bulk sugar carriers that pump their cargoes directly into the California refineries. But most of Matson's $27 million investment since 1957 has gone toward outfitting its ships with trailerlike aluminum containers that make handling easier. Because of the savings, Matson has cut rates for containerized freight to 20% below its regular freight rates...
