...Chao Phraya River, Reporter Kraar set to work putting on paper what they had seen and heard. While he was half way round the earth from New York, he was able to cover the last-minute points that Writer Jason McManus wanted for the story by means of the telex, which maintains instant communication between the Time & Life Build ing and the far-off banks of the Chao Phraya...
Secret Huddle. Scarcely had the speech clattered through the Kremlin telex machines when Russia's Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev was airborne for a visit to Bucharest. For three days he huddled with Ceausescu in secret talks. Beyond the expectable communiqué concerning "subjects of mutual interest," outsiders could only guess at the real substance of the conversations. After all, there were plenty of signs that Rumania was taking an active role in European Communist affairs-a role that could only annoy Moscow.

...bartering requires shrewd contacts and lightning communications. The largest, oldest and best-known barterer is Lausanne's Andre & Co., an 88-year-old firm that last year handled transactions worth $1 billion. Brothers Georges and Jean Andre have 5,000 worldwide agents, a fleet of 15 freighters, leased telex lines to North and South America and, reputedly, Switzerland's largest telephone bill. Bartering has particularly profited from increased East-West trade because Comecon nations like to do at least part of their dealing in merchandise.
