Czechoslovakia's Party Boss Antonín Novotný rose to the top in 1953-the year of Stalin's death-but never quite adjusted to the Kremlin's new softer line or Eastern Europe's post-Stalin era of liberalization. Only a few months ago, he severely warned the country's intellectuals that he would never tolerate "the spread of liberalism" or any other contaminating Western ideology. In turn, Czechoslovakia never really adjusted to Novotný. Recently, an increasingly vocal opposition to his hardlining ways percolated right up to the innermost circles...

Yet the faster the airlines grow, the more they must strain for funds to finance tomorrow. Pan American World Airways last week obtained $180 million through 25-year notes placed with...
...Xerox sells its customers on the fact that managers spend 45% of their time listening to others; yet let most of what they hear go in one ear and out the other. The half-day drill brings marked improvement: "retention" rates in one group of salesmen (notoriously poor listeners) rose from 20% to 84% after the course. Jarman was so enthusiastic about the program that he ordered the sessions for 800 other Genesco staffers. "The listening course sharpens a latent skill," says General Electric Personnel Consultant Dr. G. Roy Fugal. "It's like a game of golf. You have...
