...ranks third on FORTUNE'S list of the 200 biggest non-U.S. companies. Yet B.P. has never won any stars for marketing. Unlike its international rivals, the U.S. majors and Royal Dutch/Shell, it does not have a retail network big enough to even begin to sell its output, of which 85% comes from high-cost Middle East fields. As a result, B.P. has been forced to rely on sales of crude oil and pass up the more lucrative marketing of refined products. The U.S. stations, which will take on B.P.'s green and yellow colors, should help...
Goodwin admits that the policies of welfare liberalism he helped devise in the Kennedy Administration cannot control systematization. Liberal economics was the policy of "making everybody richer, directed from Washington." It distributed more fairly the output of technology, but could not limit productive efficiency for the sake of other values. "It's like putting a man on a window sill and asking him to fly," says Goodwin. "The old liberalism cannot establish communities; it can only build housing units. Liberals used to solving problems through centralization can't conceive of giving people more power in their lives...
Better in Stacks. Instant-housing projects, often financed through public housing authorities, have also appeared in such cities as Atlanta, Rochester and Detroit. Many of the modules come from mobile-home manufacturers, whose ever-increasing output (up 32% this year) now accounts for a quarter of all single-family homes built in the U.S. Mobile homes ordinarily win few architectural prizes, but lately builders have learned how to stack them in handsome configurations. At Puffton Village in Amherst, Mass., for instance, Magnolia Homes teamed up with a developer to create a striking community of 104 apartments from...
...locally. Manufacturers' labels are often misleading. The Nasr (Victory) sedans of the U.A.R., for example, are in fact Fiats assembled in Cairo. Some countries-for one, Red China, which makes passenger cars named Red Flag and Phoenix-refuse to publish production figures, and outsiders can only estimate the output. Following are the totals of world auto production for 1967, the latest year for which figures are available...
Sharp Contrast. Baden-Württemberg was formerly famed mostly for the cuck oo clock, which remained for centuries the area's best-known product. Today, virtually every small village and town has some sort of modern industry, and the state's output adds up to an impressive 17% of West Germany's total. Manufacturing accounts for 54% of Baden-Württemberg's $18 billion gross product, a higher percentage than in any of the other nine German states. Some 10,600 industrial firms produce more and export more per capita than those...
