...Beef Stock. If the choice of Simpson was obvious, the selections of Domres and Yale Halfback Calvin Hill, who was the first choice of the Dallas Cowboys, were surprises. It was in fact the first time in the 34-year history of the pro draft that two players from the lowly Ivy League were snapped up in the first round. Save for All-America Quarterback Terry Hanratty of Notre Dame, who was bypassed (presumably because of his injured knee) and later picked up in the second round by the Pittsburgh Steelers, the rest of the midwinter harvest was predictable...
...Green Bay's choice of unheralded Richie Moore, a 6-ft. 7-in., 290-lb. defensive tackle from Villanova, was based on more obvious logic. Aware that the current college crop is rich with running backs but thin on pro-caliber linemen, the Packers were apparently anxious to stock up on as much beef as they could...
...National General, voting itself the fat dividend looked like a smart move. The company waged a bitter proxy fight to get its 75%, and has offered to buy the remaining 25% at $45 per share. Before the offer was made, the stock had been selling for about half that amount. Great American certainly looked ripe for plucking.

Rebuffed in merger feelers toward Saint-Gobain, BSN quietly bought 10% of its competitor's 11.5 million shares. Then, in December, Riboud sprang his frontal attack. Backed by three big banking houses, BSN offered to exchange convertible debentures with a face value of $46 for Saint-Gobain common stock, then selling for $29. Such tactics, common in the U.S. and Great Britain, had never before been tried in France. Much to BSN's surprise, Saint-Gobain did not take long to fight back strongly...
American Interest. Sheikh Alamuddin does not seem to be in a hurry to buy new planes. He obviously wants to make the best deal, and many manufacturers are eager to dicker with him. The French government, which, through Air France, owns 30% of MEA's stock, hopes to sell some Caravelles. Boeing has speeded up delivery for two 707s-MEA will get them this autumn-and would like to sell tri-jet 727s for short-and medium-range routes...
