...United Nations General Assembly last month approved an Arab-sponsored resolution denouncing Zionism as a form of racism, U.S. Ambassador Daniel P. Moynihan declared that the U.S. would never accept "this infamous act." Later he described the vote on Zionism as "an obscenity" and called it "a self-inflicted wound from which the reputation and integrity of the General Assembly may not survive in our time." Last week there was plentiful evidence that the shock waves from that Assembly resolution are still having an impact on the world. Items...
Moynihan's "mini-Salzburg," recalling Henry Kissinger's own resignation threat in Austria last year when wiretapping accusations burst around him, left the Ford Administration with another wound. The President's inability to absorb one more high-level departure was exposed. Moynihan's own reputation was reduced; his threat to quit was seen as a temper tantrum with an aroma of vanity.

Gray to end the firm's heavy dependence on Government contracts, which became increasingly scarce as the Viet Nam War wound down. In 1970, when United earned a $45.5 million profit on sales of $2.4 billion, 53% of its business came from Washington. By 1974, the Hartford, Conn.-based company had reduced that to a third of $3.3 billion annual sales. One reason: it acquired Essex International, Inc., a major producer...
