...Democratic Senator Ernest Rollings meanwhile got 68 Senate cosponsors for a bill that would reduce imports of textiles from 2.7 billion sq. yds. a year to 1.7 billion sq. yds. In all, the seven bills would lower imports on a range of products including beef, mutton, veal, mink skins, zinc, footwear, oil, watches and dairy products. Even liberal Senators, under badgering from home, seemed sympathetic. Wisconsin Democrat William Proxmire sided with the dairy interests. Both Kennedys agreed to sponsor quota measures opposed to the spirit of the Kennedy Round, which was named after their older brother...
...conglomerate companies like Gulf & Western Industries, such mergers have had spectacular results. Under Chairman Charles Bluhdorn, Gulf & Western, which a decade ago was an ailing Houston auto-parts company, has gobbled up one company after another (among them: Paramount Pictures, New Jersey Zinc) to balloon into a $1 bil-lion-a-year operation.

Jean Rey, the Belgian chief negotiator for the Common Market, called his group "extremely satisfied" with the outcome-a reaction echoed by most governments. Secretary of State Dean Rusk...
Advanced work on electric cars still centers around cheaper, more powerful batteries. General Motors, for example, is continuing work on high-capacity silver-zinc batteries, though they are still inordinately expensive. Ford has designed a sodium-sulphur battery that could drive a Falcon-sized car up to 130 miles at 50 m.p.h. Scientists agree that a production car using a version of either battery is still five to ten years...
...both pat and prolonged. Viewers, however, are not likely to be bored with the performance of actor-singer Yves Montand. With a sour, craggy face fatefully evocative of Bogart and Camus, he exhales an air of melancholy strength that makes Diego seem as abused and battered as an old zinc bar - and just as uncorrodible...
