...enough in the cash-and-carry market. In print only a month, the volume-which accuses President Johnson of having "cast away" a chance to negotiate an end to the Viet Nam war early in 1967-has recorded almost 40,000 sales. That's not yet sufficient to recoup the advance of about $150,000 that Doubleday & Co. paid to Kennedy, but still it seems to be a brisk beginning...

It will take over Intra's extensive business holdings-including thriving Middle East Airlines, Beirut's port and the Phoenicia Hotel, cement plants, warehouses, casinos, a French shipyard and valuable real estate on Paris' Champs Elysees-and try to recoup the bank's crippling losses with their future profits. As a $1,000,000-plus financial consultant, Kidder, Peabody hopes to raise $30 million to develop these and other Intra-owned properties like Baalbek Studios, which is building motion picture sound stages in low-cost Lebanon with the expectation...
