Tires are the biggest factor in Goodyear's business, and they now account for 60% of the company's output. A wide range of 30,000 other items, including chemicals, flooring and shoe products, is enjoying brisk sales. Goodyear's aviation division is the leading supplier of rubber fuel tanks for aircraft; the company's aerospace division turns out nonmetallic, lightweight armor for helicopter crews in Viet...
...Hilweh now see scant hope of ever returning to their homes, but they continue to live in the spirit of cruel dispossession. The roads and fetid alleys are still either choked with dust or, during the winter rains, awash in light brown mud. A few shops provide essential services-shoe repair, clothing-and the U.N.'s daily ration (1,600 calories in winter) can be supplemented at ramshackle fruit and vegetable stands. Menfolk gather, as they always have, in coffeehouses, to talk and sip thick, dark coffee...

...expanded repertory represented by Bream's new recording is certain to increase his popularity, which already is great enough to sell out auditoriums like Manhattan's Carnegie Hall and London's Wigmore Hall for guitar-lute recitals. Young people, especially, like his old-shoe manner-he slouches spread-legged in a chair, chatting and joking with the audience between selections-and look to him as a sort of troubadour of time-tested musical values. "The young love the clarity, order and logic of my music," he says. "They are people who are looking not only forward but back." People...
