...companies have come on down. In and around honky-tonk Tijuana, 17 miles from San Diego, more than a dozen new plants have sprouted to produce such things as magnetic memory cores for Litton Industries and power transistors for Fairchild Camera. Factories in Mexicali make integrated circuits for Raytheon and motor parts for Western Gear. In Nuevo Laredo, southwest of Laredo, Texas, Mexican workers are doing everything from making electronics parts for Transitron Electronic Corp. to sorting supermarket "cents-off" coupons for the A.C. Nielsen Co., the big TV-rating and marketing-services firm...
...acquisition of Holt will give CBS a prime spot in the knowledge industry, which is largely based on corporate partnerships that wed electronics and the printed word so as to participate in the U.S.'s education explosion. Since 1965, Raytheon has bought Boston's B.C. Heath, Xerox has assumed control of the Wesleyan University Press, and RCA, parent of CBS's great rival, NBC, has taken over Random House, is also diversifying in other ways (see following story).

...distribution-by-air concept." Because of cheaper insurance, lighter crating, fewer warehouse charges and, most important, jet-quick delivery, air freight is often less costly than water, rail or road transport-even though air rates are considerably higher.

Sears now supplies its Honolulu store with everything from brassieres to tractors via United jets. Shipping auto parts by air, General Motors and Ford...

It is produced, under contract, for various business, government and educational institutions by Abt Associates, a 20 month-old fledgling in the Rand-type "think factory" research field. Headed by Clark Abt, 37, former advanced-systems manager at Raytheon, the Cambridge, Mass., company undertakes all sorts of computer projects, but it has made its biggest splash so far in the business of devising serious games. Its first contract was a game for the Defense Department that was aimed at teaching counterinsurgency strategy to military trainees. In Manchester, "farmers...
Although still in its infancy, time sharing is already being used by busi ness, government and universities. Bos ton's Raytheon Co. prepares contract proposals, and Arthur D. Little solves problems in applied mechanics through a time-sharing system run by Cambridge's Bolt Beranek & Newman. An other time-sharing firm, Keydata, will soon take up the problems of Boston distributors of liquor, books, automo- bile parts and building materials. Con trol Data, which introduced two time-shared computers last week, will open the U.S.'s biggest sharing center in Los Angeles next year. General Electric...
