...fists, stones, clubs, guns. In Cambridge, Md., a brief truce between Negroes and whites quickly gave way to warfare, with bands of armed and angry men roving the streets (see following story). In Savannah, Ga., ignoring appeals for caution voiced by responsible leaders, Negroes broke into a window-smashing, tire-slashing rampage that lasted sporadically for two nights and a day. The outbreak began when 1,000 Negroes marched downtown to protest the arrest of a Negro leader. A young New York Negro named Bruce Gordon, a member, oddly enough, of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, urged the crowd...
...West Germany's case, Beitz, 49, beats the path for relations eastward. West Germany has steadfastly refused to trade ambassadors with any nation that recognizes Communist East Germany,*but business with the satellites is another thing. Beitz has sold a floating drydock to the Poles, a tire factory to the Hungarians, a chemical plant to the Russians. Largely because Beitz broke the ice with his smooth business and personal negotiations, Bonn this month will open a trade mission with embassy status in Warsaw, and negotiations are under way to open a similar mission in Hungary. Beitz has also initiated...
...capacity in most of the 20 countries where it manufactures. The company's viscose division, which controls 10% of the world production of that staple of rayon making, increased earnings 60%, winning out over competing nylon makers in securing three-quarters of the British market for rayon tire cords. Courtaulds has expanded its acetate sales for cigarette filters, increased its output of paints, packaging films and aerosol cans...
...flag fluttered, 33 snub-snouted racers gunned past the grandstand-and Jones was in the lead, whirling round and round, averaging a blazing 150 m.p.h. By the 24th lap, he was already lapping stragglers. On the 64th lap, he pulled into the pits, picked up three new tires (the left front tire was still unworn) and a tank of methanol-all in 25.1 sec. But whish! whish!, there went the Lotuses. Short as it was, Jones's pit stop had cost him the lead. After 75 laps, Clark and Gurney were one-two; Parnelli Jones was third...
With the leaders so tightly bunched, a break could win the race, any mistake would surely lose it. On the 93rd lap, Gurney pulled into the Lotus pit for a routine tire change-and lost all chance of victory. A nervous mechanic misplaced his hammer; Colin Chapman finally found it and kicked it over to him. The delay cost Gurney an insurmountable 42.2 sec. Clark fared only slightly better: his one pit stop, on the 95th lap, took 32.3 sec.-and Jones shot back into the lead. Blocked by heavy traffic, Clark was unable to capitalize on Jones...
