...provide the leadership-than the new Premier. A career bureaucrat, Sato was one of the chief architects of Japan's miraculous industrial expansion. In the important ministry of trade and commerce he became one of the foremost exponents of Japan's increased international involvement. Although his rival for the premiership, Ichiro Kono, won worldwide acclaim as the top organizer most responsible for the success of the Tokyo Olympics, Sato really had the inside track. He has been Ikeda's heir apparent for more than four years-ever since his elder brother, Nobusuke Kishi,* resigned in the wave...
...Tough and tightlipped, Frank Leahy had nothing in common with Rockne except a ferocious desire to win all the time. His players called him "The Robot," and he drove them mercilessly. "I want to see blood on the quarterbacks' hands when you snap the ball," he told his centers. Rival coaches ac cused Leahy of teaching "dirty football," of flagrant recruiting violations, of "twisting" the rulebook with his "sucker shifts" and faked injuries. But one thing nobody could argue with: his success. With such stars as Johnny Lujack, George Connor, Johnny Lattner, Leon Hart and Ralph Guglielmi, Leahy won four...

Since Show's publisher is A. & P. Heir Huntington Hartford, the red ink was not too significant. But with circulation at 200,000 and still shy of the break-even point, Hartford last week decided to hand over Show to Playbill, Inc. for a price...
...costs in the old mines are partially responsible, and so are cheaper foreign coal prices; U.S. coal, highly automated and easier to dig out, undersells German coal by $2 a ton in Germany, and only a miserly quota keeps it from flooding the German market. Coal's greater rival is oil, which has been sweeping the country as a heating and industrial fuel at the same time that better technology has enabled such industries as steel to use less coal...
