...demand as a speaker; he receives about a thousand letters a week, runs up a $2,000-a-month telephone bill keeping up his long distance contacts. Moreover, Nixon is preparing to campaign in 1962 for Republican candidates across the country, partly because he can help them win and strengthen the party, partly because he hopes to have the favor returned at the" 1964 G.O.P. convention. Few Nixon strategists seriously consider the idea of bypassing '64 for '68; win or lose, the next Republican presidential nominee would become titular head of the party, and Nixon would be frozen...
Gout in his arm has bothered him intermittently, and he punches a bag occasionally and watches his diet (by stinting on meat proteins and fried foods) to strengthen his throwing-even while working as an off-season customers' man on Wall Street. He has never won 20 games in a season, partly because the Yankees pulled him out of the regular pitching rotation to use him as a "stopper" in the big games. In 1960 he had his worst year, 12-9, although he redeemed himself with two shutouts against Pittsburgh in the World Series...
...Flexibility. Auto companies dread Government intervention more than Reuther does. But Reuther, too, is under pressure. He badly needs a favorable settlement to strengthen his hand in the A.F.L.-C.I.O. (see THE NATION), yet cannot afford to antagonize either the Administration or the general public.

Result: for the first time since 1937, Reuther last week walked into the bargaining room with no headline-catching...

But the only thing that could strengthen the pound permanently would be a spurt in Britain's industrial growth rate-currently among the lowest in Western Europe. Said Selwyn Lloyd: "For national economic survival, we must grow . . . We must see to it that wages, salaries and other incomes remain within the limits justified by increased productivity...
Like Capital Airlines, which earlier this month merged with United Air Lines, Northeast is in part a victim of CAB's ill-advised attempts to strengthen weak airlines by granting them additional routes. To shore up Northeast, which began as a regional carrier in New England, the board five years ago granted the line the right to fly the blue-ribbon New York-Miami route, which Eastern and National Airlines were already flying. Against such entrenched lines, Northeast could not attract enough passengers to make money for itself, and it cut so deeply into Eastern's and National...
