...Beaches. Pinay's coyness mirrored De Gaulle's own. Le general cannily intends to withhold his own election plans until the last moment, but nobody much doubts that he will try for another seven-year term.*Nor does anyone doubt that he can succeed. Still, two candidates from the right and one from the left, plus an obscure entry from the farmers' lobby, have leaped into the ring...
...twelfth and last time in his first seven-year term of office now drawing to a close, the President of France last week held his own Sun King version of Meet the Press. Naturally, the question uppermost in the minds of 1,000 newsmen assembled in the Elysee was whether De Gaulle will stand for re-election Dec. 5 and a second septennat in office.

Ironically, meat prices are high primarily because steer and hog prices last year hit a seven-year low. Farmers responded to that slump by cutting their herds and reducing their feed bills, with the result that fewer and leaner cattle are now coming to market.

...merger announcement came at a curious time: almost simultaneously, both roads issued bullish annual reports. Pennsy Chairman Stuart T. Saunders, 55, glowed over his road's best performance in eight years: earnings doubled, revenues reached a record $907 million and the road resumed paying quarterly dividends after a seven-year lapse. Central President Alfred Perlman, 62, was hardly less content; the Central's earnings of $35.5 million on its $733 million in revenues were 21 times those of 1963, largely because the Central has cut its debt by $256 million since 1957 and thus shaved its interest...
