Pfizer & Co., the nation's largest ethical drug company, followed the overseas route to executive leadership. As its new president and chief executive officer, it picked John J. Powers, 52, the chief of its international operations for the past 14 years. Powers takes over as Pfizer's boss from John E. McKeen, 61, who will retain his position as chairman...

Happily, Ben-Gurion turned his thoughts to a new Cabinet that would probably include most of the now chas tened politicians who had dared oppose him on Lavon.
