...lured some 500 Western firms to invest over $800 million in Eastern Europe, and every year the tide of Western tourists increases. West Germany's new Christian Democrat-Socialist coalition regime has made limited new East-West moves possible. While there is not yet any end in sight for Germany's geographical division, most East European governments have dropped the stultifying position that nothing can be discussed unless West Germany acknowledges East Germany as a sovereign state.

...there is no plum in sight to replace North American's rich NASA contract for Apollo Moon Project hardware, worth $676 million in fiscal 1966 alone. To cushion a potential slide in Government business, which could push total sales down as much as 15% this year, Atwood began making plans to expand "into the commercial and industrial sector."
