...brigadiers belong to a familiar breed in the Moslem world. Like Egypt's Nasser and Iraq's Kassem, they are ascetic young soldiers resentful of corrupt old ways, antagonistic to the West, and impatient for change. In early March the two, Abdel-Rahim Mohammed Kheir Shennan, 46, and Moheiddin Ahmed Abdullah, 43, with two battalions of troops, quietly surrounded Khartoum, captured Abboud's No. 2 man and held him for 24 hours. Fatherly General Abboud, after hearing the two soldiers' complaints, dismissed his No. 2 man and appointed both Shennan and Moheiddin to places...
...their court-martial last week, Shennan and Moheiddin were represented by five attorneys, including the president of the Sudan Bar Association.

Sales were off 26% to $31.1 million, and President J. G. Shennan said solemnly that he could not predict "an immediate return to profitability...

If he could not compete with cheaper Swiss watches and movements, Shennan reasoned, then he would have to diversify his company's production, make additional products which he could sell profitably, develop research to make others. For two years Shennan has been preparing his course by acquiring other companies, such as Kentucky's Wadsworth Watch Case Co. and Rhode Island's watchband-making Hadley Co., which also makes cuff links, tie clasps, etc. Elgin itself is importing Swiss movements for Wadsworth cases...
