Pepsi's sales were boosted by its bigger bottle and sweeter-than-Coke taste while bright young sales specialists were shipped to the area by Pepsi President Alfred N. Steele.

In a few months police will stamp "Unsolved" on the folder of Arnold Schuster and tuck it away in an already bulging file. The Brink's case, the biggest lead on it ignored, will get a similar treatment in Boston. And the syndicates will move...
