Russia itself has lagged behind the satellites in the economic shift toward Western ways. At stake is nothing less than Russia's vast "command economy," with its Kafkaesque, topheavy bureaucratic fiefdoms regulating every pulse and throb of the nation's economic engine.

The newest entry, McGaughy, Marshall, McMillan & Lucas, had specialized in overseas work for the U.S. armed forces for ten years before it established headquarters in Rome in late 1963 and shifted its emphasis to needs of emerging nations.

From record 1962 earnings ($45.3 million) the company slipped 8% in 1963 despite higher sales, lost another 11.5% last year. Gillette's British subsidiary cut its employee force 5% last summer, discontinued longtime fair-trade prices on blades and hiked retailer discounts to stimulate sales...
