There was never any prospect that Johnson would accept such an offer, because of his great reliance on Rusk, because Rusk's resignation over his daughter's choice of a husband would be a major political disaster for the Administration, and because there is little likelihood that the President would find the marriage embarrassing. (In any event, as of this week Rusk has outlasted all but six of his predecessors.) But the mere fact that the hint of resignation was reported, and allowed to go undenied by both Rusk and the White House, underscored the kind of pressure...
...been in and out of the case, "is that he sat on his duff right up until the last minute. In his blustering frontier way, he didn't figure anything could happen to a guy of his wealth over so small a sum owed." Now, in all likelihood, there isn't anyone for him to recover from any more. Primock is dead, and Sears has already successfully contended that it did not know of or endorse any of Primock's actions. Besides, Jackson no longer has any of the records.

Smith, the Allis-Chalmers director with the biggest block of shares (21,560), pronounced the new offer "far, far more interesting." There was little likelihood that the company would find a savior with anything like LTV's bankroll (furnished by a group of banks headed by the Bank of America) and willing to offer a better price.

...Detroit seemed not to affect imports. In fact, sales of foreign-made autos are running 14% ahead of last year, when a record 658,000 imports were sold in the U.S., and foreign automakers now expect to sell better than 700,000 cars by year's end. The likelihood of an import record is even more remarkable since Volkswagen, though still accounting for well over half of all imports, is selling no more cars in the U.S. than it did last year...
