Churned Earth. Early last week a Dutch engineer named Egbert Roosma took a stroll on the outskirts of the camp. The late afternoon sun glistened on the bright yellow barracks, repair shops and tool sheds. There was a constant roar from bulldozers and heavy-duty trucks churning up the slate-grey earth as they carried dirt and rocks to the growing wall. Roosma, 25, had reason for satisfaction: the Mattmark project would be completed by October, and its turbines were already generating electricity. He had got on well with his Swiss employers and with the hundreds of workers...
...brakes to missile-tracking systems. It embraces 373 different product lines, 28 divisions, nine U.S. subsidiaries and 22 affiliated companies in ten countries. Last week the company drew yet another operation under its wing: for $5,300,000 worth of stock, it acquired Besly-Welles Corp., an Illinois machine-tool maker that had 1964 sales of $11.5 million...

...work. The Soviet Union also has a rising number of young people-many of them school dropouts-who are unable to find work because they lack the skills required by modern industry. Even technical skill is not always a guarantee of a job: 254 graduates of a Moscow machine-tool school and 60 trained radio technicians can not find jobs in their fields. The old dodge of opening up land in Siberia is out, because Russians are no longer willing to toil where schools and housing are poor, wages are low and prices twice what they are elsewhere. The result...
