...Beginning with that enduring blob of Teutonic treacle, Danke Schoen, he has two gold records to his credit. He gets as much as $75,000 a week in nightclubs and holds the alltime attendance records at the Royal Box in New York's Americana Hotel, Las Vegas' Frontier Hotel and Melodyland in Anaheim, Calif...
...Closed Frontier. Kelso's idea has elicited increasing debate lately among bankers, corporate executives and officials of several governments. Venturesome companies have used some of his methods to shift ownership to their employees. Early this year, Alberta, Canada's historic haven for economic experimenters, began a formal study of Kelso's entire doctrine. Last week, as he has for more than a decade, Kelso hopped across the U.S. expounding the merits of his "universal capitalism." In Chicago, he met with a group of insurance men. In Washington, he dined with five Republican Congressmen, two Administration aides...

This time the Lebanese army, embarrassed by continuing Israeli patrols inside Lebanon, has orders to make the decree stick...
...scene, and not necessarily an encouraging one, in a far broader theater. Even while gunfire blazed in Amman, other guerrillas raided Israel along the Jordanian border. Israeli troops patrolled inside Lebanon to contain guerrilla activity there, but the fedayeen nevertheless managed to loft Soviet-made Katyusha rockets into the frontier town of Kiryat Shemona. Syrian artillerymen firing Russian guns shelled a border defense settlement called Nahal Gishor, killing a girl soldier. Suez rocked with the sound and fury of the heaviest fighting...
