...test case of the answer, it is International Telephone & Telegraph Co. ITT is the biggest of all multinational conglomerates (annual revenues: $8.6 billion), and for slightly more than a year now it has been accused of making political payoffs in the U.S. and conspiring to overthrow the government of Chile. This week ITT executives will face stockholders at the annual meeting with a mixed report: profits are up, but the company's stock is way down...

To harness the CIA's excesses and yet utilize its immense capabilities for keeping the U.S. abreast of world developments, the Nixon Administration has ordered the greatest reorganization in the agency's 25-year history...
