...Major labor contracts, covering 3,100,000 workers, expire in the U.S. this year (the figure was only 980,000 in 1966), and the biggest wave of strikes since 1959 seems only too likely. Not surprisingly, most labor leaders share Reuther's belief that workers deserve a bigger slice of last year's record corporate profits. Few major contracts expired in 1966, however, and corporate profits are off this year. As University of Chicago Labor Specialist Arnold R. Weber puts it, "Now that the unions are able to get to the bargaining table, the pickings...
...Doyle Dane Bernbach agency, which has previously turned out copy ("We must be doing something right") for the company's Rheingold brand. For Gablinger's, Doyle Dane makes the point that a bottle of ordinary beer has a carbohydrate content equivalent to that of a slice of bread, but Gablinger's drinkers can "save the bread for a sandwich . . . where it belongs...

For simple security, it wanted at least a buffer strip on the rocky heights of Syria and a slice of West Jordan to fatten out its own narrow waistline. It also wanted free passage through Aqaba, perhaps guaranteed by an Israeli garrison at Sharm el Shiekh...

West Germans currently are showing an alarming preference for roomier foreign models, which now control 15% of the market compared with 11.6% only a year ago. Getting the biggest new slice of business are French cars, once considered junk in Germany. Warehouses are bulging with unsold German autos, while vehicle exports during the first three months of 1967 were off 15.3% from the same time in 1966. VW factories are producing about 1,000 fewer cars daily than they did in 1966, and since Jan. 1, workers have had 24 enforced days...
