...idea-the only place in the world safe from being overheard. The treaty was mysteriously dropped through the letter slot at the Tribune, wrapped in a piece of Chinese silk (some say a kimono). It would have been treasonable to publish the treaty, but Hunt got Senator Borah to start reading it for the Congressional Record, and a minute later the presses started rolling...
...wants is Olympic victory this February, particularly on its home turf at Grenoble. Killy is happy, healthy and wise enough to know that the warmups are just that. Wait. And so last week in the second half of the giant slalom at Adelboden, Switzerland, Killy roared out of the start and flashed down the 1,800-meter course, carving and skating through the 60 gates to finish in 1 min. 34.1 sec., a good 1.5 sec. ahead of his closest pursuer and enough to give him his first major win of the year.

...biggest single shipbuilder. It doesn't mean a thing if you lose money," says IHI's Taguchi. Company profits are expected to be $12 million in fiscal 1967, up from $8,000,000 in 1966.

Not surprisingly, in spite of weekly wages that start at $160-and some of the best fishing in Canada-the turnover rate is a high 85%. "If we could get it down to 20%," says John McCreedy, a onetime professional hockey player with the Toronto Maple Leafs who is Inco's regional manager, "we would be deliriously happy...
Many of the schemes seemed improbable at best. Some twenty seniors planned to start a truck farm in upstate New York in order to obtain an agricultural deferment until they were told by their draft lawyer that they would probably be classified delinquent for "evasion." Others were desperately trying to lose weight, practicing a grotesque pigeontoed gait (deferred on the grounds that anyone who walks with his toes pointing in would not be able to march long distances) or considering the relative merits of lopping off their trigger fingers. It was all pretty far-fetched, but to a significant number...
