...Because of his third place finish, Symington withdrew his name from consideration. That left Hearnes with the inside track-and the G.O.P. with an even stronger chance of picking up a Senate seat in November. The Republican nominee is State Attorney General John C.

...Puff? The competition is hottest in presweetened cereals, which captured 31% of sales last year.

McDonald's owns or franchises 3,400 restaurants in the U.S. and 17 foreign countries; in 1974 chain wide sales totaled $1.9 billion. But Jack's sales have risen 15% since the "Watch out, McDonald's!" ads began running. They will...
...closed meeting in October 1971, the then Secretary of State, William Rogers, told executives of such American corporations as ITT, Ford, Anaconda, Ralston-Purina, the First National City Bank and the Bank of America: "The Nixon Administration is a business administration. Its mission is to protect American business." That is clearly also the mission of the Ford Administration. Mr. Ford stated publicly in September 1974 his approval of the activities of the CIA in Chile...
