...project is dearer to Iranian hearts than the $300 million Russian steel mill now under construction at Isfahan. Steel mills are status symbols to all developing countries, and Iran has been yearning for one for more than 75 years. The Shah himself broke ground for the plant last month, and the declared purpose of Kosygin's trip was to pay a visit to its site. Obviously, there was not a great deal to see yet, but the aborning mill was a convenient excuse for the Soviet Premier to negotiate in person for even bigger deals...
...George Do It. Lean and lanky at 5 ft. 11 in. and 160 Ibs., Spitz has been a water baby since he was two, when his father, a steel-company executive, was transferred from Modesto, Calif., to Honolulu. "We went to Waikiki every day," recalls Mark's mother. 'You should have seen that little boy dash into the ocean. He'd run like he was trying to commit suicide."

Aside from Johnson himself, the key operative so far has been White House Appointment Secretary W. Marvin Watson, a dour, former Texas steel executive whom the President lauds as "the most efficient man I've ever known" but who is less than an expert in national politics...
...century ago to almost $20,000 today; in the petroleum-refining industry, the figure is more than $250,000. The capital investment in a medium-sized U.S. farm is about $80,000-double what it was 15 years ago. In the next five years, the nation's steel producers intend to invest about $12 billion to expand, modernize and automate. Then there is the nation's annual investment in research and development: last year it took $24 billion. Contrary to John Maynard Keynes-who theorized that economies eventually mature, stop growing, and then demand only meager amounts...
