...Gaulle, naturally, paid no attention. His sense of grandeur wounded by a Brazilian ultimatum to clear French lobster boats out of Brazilian waters, he dispatched a warship to put an end to such nonsense. Brazil responded by canceling sailors' shore leaves, ordering units of its own fleet to sea. There was an uneasy stir in foreign ministries in Paris and Rio de Janeiro; among Brazilians there was talk of breaking diplomatic relations, even of asking the U.S. to invoke the Monroe Doctrine. Headlined Rio's O Dia: WAR IS IMMINENT...
...past two years, the Brazilians have paid little mind to fishermen from Brittany who dropped their nets near by and returned home with holds filled with the live, spiny lobsters. Occasionally the Brazilian navy stopped a trawler for venturing too near shore, but there was little fuss about it. Then two months ago, local lobstermen woke up to the fact that the French were nipping quite a chunk out of their $3,000,000 annual export business. Hair-triggered Brazilian jingoists joined in the protest...
...range and imagination, the dean of the businessmen-professors is a longtime (since 1926) Harvard Business School professor named Georges F. Doriot, 63. As president of American Research and Development Corp., he has helped to father 78 new companies, from Adage Inc. (computer support systems) to Zapata Off-Shore Co. (oil).

By bankrolling bright men with new ideas, including some...
Next June a congregation of 68 families, most of them from Texas, and their minister, will begin a mass move to the unassuming town of Bay Shore, L.I., a New York City suburb chosen for what the migrants conceive to be a novel blend of wholesomeness and godlessness. The purpose of "Exodus-Bay Shore" is to give that part of Long Island its first "pure-gospel" church, and the move is being sponsored by one of the nation's few big made-in-U.S.A. religious groups-the evangelical, expansive (2,250,000 members) Churches of Christ,* which...
...exodus was planned as carefully as a corporation hunts out a new plant site. Evangelist Dwain Evans, 29, preacher of the proposed church, and a committee of elders scouted six other communities before choosing Bay Shore, which has the advantage of being near Long Island's aircraft and electronics plants. Recently, a number of corporations sent representatives to Dallas to interview members of the new congregation about jobs; a number of Long Island school boards similarly solicited teachers. But faith more than fortune lies behind the exodus. "It is the will of God," says Evans, "that...
