...common cause. Tables where coeds sell pamphlets-Marx, Marcuse, Che. Other tables with various buttons and badges of dissent. Posters.

Houston businessmen are convinced that the leaders of many major corporations are so fed up with the congestion, transport snarls and high costs of New York and other Northeastern cities that they are eager to relocate. The discontented Easterners are being avidly courted by many communities, but few if any developers are spending as much doing it as those in Houston. Construction is under way. for example, on Developer Kenneth Schnitzer's $400 million Greenway Plaza office-and-apartment development, located on 127 acres about seven miles from the city's center.
