...sued Standard Oil Co. (Indiana) for paying an "excessive" 5¾% rate abroad, arguing that the company should have ignored the voluntary restraint program because it lacks the force of law. Many foreign governments and European companies have been squeezed out in the borrowing crunch or have agreed to hitherto unthinkable terms. "This," says London investment banker Siegmund Warburg, "has stirred up considerable anti-American feeling." Despite such acrimony, more foreigners each year seem happy to hold their wealth in U.S. money...

The new FDA head also decided to break down the Sadusk system of having one team of FDA experts, headed by Dr. Frances O. Kelsey, keep track of new drugs under investigation, and a separate team decide when these drugs should be approved for general prescription use. All this was too much for Dr. Sadusk. Last week he precipitately quit...
