...office building that houses his headquarters. Two reporters met him with questions. "Get the hell outa the way," snarled a Buckley henchman. Those words were downright kindly compared with Buckley's own profanity. After 30 years as Congressman from New York's 23rd District, during which he rose to the chairmanship of the pork-barreling House Public Works Committee, Buck ley had just been beaten in his party's primary by a political dude named Jonathan Brewster Bingham...
Typically, Shastri had stayed aloof from all the politicking. Next morning, he rose early, had a modest breakfast with his family. He was the last to reach Parliament, where the other Congress Party members were already gathered beneath the high dome of the central hall. In a soft, reedy voice, tiny (5 ft., 112 lbs.) Shastri promised to carry on Nehru's work. Then he drove to the Jumna River to pray at the site where Nehru had been cremated...
...Stanford economics graduate (B.A., '34), Lewis started as a metal cutter at Lockheed, rose during the war to boss of sales but quit in 1947 to join Canadair, a General Dynamics subsidiary.

He joined Cities Service just six years ago, became president a year later. The ninth biggest U.S. oil company (1963 sales: $1.2 billion) has lately diversified into businesses as varied...
...second largest copper producer (after Kennecott). Among his honors: the Bernardo O'Higgins Order of Merit, Chile's highest award to a foreigner. "The company will not stay static," says tall, even-tempered Brinckerhoff, who reported "encouraging" copper explorations in Arizona. Last year Anaconda's sales rose 2% to $709 million, but earnings dipped slightly, to $45 million. Brinckerhoff faces other headaches: labor contracts in the U.S. and Chile expire this month, and nationalization of foreign-owned mines is a hot issue in Chile's September elections...
