...estimated 10 million Frenchmen tuned in for twice-a-day radio and television broadcasts from the center of town. The occasion for all of the hoopla: in one of the largest group efforts to kick the nicotine habit, 155 citizens of Mauriac decided to give up tobacco, cold turkey.* Their effort has been largely successful. More than 100 townspeople are still abstaining, another 38 have now taken the pledge, and hundreds more have cut down on their smoking...

"Either you choose me or him," Inönü told members. By a vote of 709 to 503, they...
...product research. He has a salesman's high hopes for several products that are test-marketed: Brim, a decaffeinated coffee; Master Blend, a mix of freeze-dried and spray-dried coffee that would cost less than either Maxim or Taster's Choice; Oven Top, a chicken or turkey dressing that can be cooked without a bird; and Soft-Swirl, a mousse dessert. Meanwhile Cook faces mandatory retirement in less than three years, and the company has to pick a president who will be his heir apparent for the chairmanship.
