...mark after Chairman Heinz, aware that the company had become too stolid domestically, made him a troubleshooter to improve Heinz's U.S. business. Gookin did it partly by revising Heinz's somewhat outdated sales techniques, partly by proposing the acquisition of such companies as Star Kist Tuna and Ore-Ida, a processor of frozen foods that takes its name from the fact that its first processing plants were in Idaho...
...most game-fish anglers favored lines testing at 80 to 130 lbs. of pressure before they would break, heavy, inch-thick rods, and big 9/0 to 12/0 reels almost powerful enough to winch in a whale.

"So to get an image of God, all I need is to photograph a perfect man and a precise...
...upset to see something disturbed that has been around 1,966 years, or something like that."* In the face of the threat, fish producers, canners and distributors have begun to fight back. Except for such giants as the Ralston Purina Co. (Chicken of the Sea and White Star canned tuna) and HJ. Heinz Co. (Star Kist), the industry has been listless in promoting fish, slow in keeping up with innovations in packaging and convenience foods. Warns New York Fishery Council Director John Von Glahn: "The industry will do a better job of marketing and put a better product...
