...coalition of Kennedy and McCarthy forces took party control in July. They hope to consolidate their victory at a March, 1969 state central committee meeting, following a probable GOP sweep in local contests. Under the new chairmanship of Kennedy supporter Robert Maytag (as in washing machine), the state central committee has already built a New Politics-style coalition with Denver blacks...
...Murders. It was this point of irreversibility that most concerned the Harvard committee. Under the chairmanship of Dr. Henry K. Beecher, it outlined a series of technical steps to ensure that any flat EEG is really an accurate recording, then added that the tests "shall be repeated at least 24 hours later with no change." On its face, this language appeared to rule out the prompt transplantation of an accident victim's heart, but the committee felt that it was necessary to cover a few special cases. A victim of barbiturate poisoning may recover full brain function after...
Through the power by which he names all committees, and by ex officio chairmanship of the Committee on Educational Policy (CEP), the Dean can usually guide debate and legislation. He knows the public views of every Faculty member and obviously would not appoint his critics to form a majority on any committee.

Linowitz, who two years ago left the Xerox executive committee chairmanship to become U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of the American States, made sure that the techniques could not be copied for some time. A thicket of more than 500 patents surrounds the basic xerography process. Meanwhile, the company is making machines that turn out copies-and therefore revenues -at ever faster rates. The 914 model turns out 420 pages per hour. Model 2400, launched 21 years ago, makes 2,400 pages of copy per hour. After a faltering start...
...Bigger. Wood's coup, and others to come, earned him Sears's presidency in 1928, its chairmanship in 1939, and promised Sears unchallenged retailing superiority for decades ahead. In the years between Wood's arrival and his retirement next week from the company's board at 88 (he gave up the chairmanship in 1954), Sears has grown from a rural mail-order house doing a $200 million-a-year business to a vast corporation with sales of more than $500 million a month. Its 50-state organization includes 809 full-line stores, 1,731 smaller catalogue...
