...course, is his name, which comes from his Indian forebears. The second is his unorthodox, cross-wristed golf grip (he puts his left hand under his right). And the third is the fact that he can even play golf at all in a land where, by law, whites share the game only with whites, and nonwhites with nonwhites. Last week Sewgolum found himself the center of one of the most ludicrous episodes in the history of the sport-but about par for Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd's apartheid course...
...handling public employees; but so does the entire U.S. The country's 10.2 million civilian Government workers (24% of them federal) now comprise the largest single segment of the U.S. labor force. With state and local governments slated to hire 50% more workers, the public sector's share of the labor force will hit an estimated 20% by 1970. Meanwhile, having lost members in private industry, U.S. unions now regard public employees as a prime target-and already represent about 34% of them...
Foreign Encroachment. What the carriers are fighting for is a share in the world's fastest growing air-transport market. The volume of air traffic between Japan and the U.S. has nearly tripled in five years, in part because of the deepening U.S. involvement in Viet Nam.

In 1966 U.S. firms expect to spend about $1.5 billion on European expansion, and at least 30 companies intend to try the overseas-bond-financing technique. On the heels of Honeywell, Phillips Petroleum is planning a $25 million issue to finance overseas spending...
Easing in New York. The situation, however, annoys European governments and agencies whose own issues are shouldered aside in the rush for American issues, which pay less interest but often have the attraction of convertibility into shares of common stock. Recent Dutch and Finnish bond issues sold badly; the European Coal and Steel Community has postponed a $20 million issue in view of market uncertainty as has the Transalpine Pipeline Co.; the Swiss bond market has sagged 10% in recent months as investors have sold European holdings to buy American. Europeans are increasingly waspish about the disproportionate share of their...
