WHENEVER the Government needs a troubleshooter in the oil business, it turns to J. (for John) Ed. Warren, 63. Washington called him to duty as a consultant during World War II, the Korean war and the Suez crisis, and he is now a part-time Pentagon adviser. Last week Cities Service Co. named him chief executive to replace Burl S. Watson, 70, who remains chairman. A stocky, straightforward man with a whimsical twist, Warren treats his promotion lightly ("You can't take yourself too seriously"), but concedes that he always had his sights on the top job. Warren started...
...rest houses in the last ten years, and West German castle owners who convert their properties to sight-seeing attractions can get state assistance. Ireland has budgeted $30 million for hotel development. Egypt, aware that increasing tourism will soon bring in about as much as tolls on the Suez Canal ($170 million), is spending $60 million on 40 new hotels, Nile River tourist boats and a Red Sea fishing resort at Ghardaka.

Because ZIM cannot use the Arab-owned Suez Canal, it must divide its fleet between Israel's Mediterranean and Red Sea ports, thus cannot always have its ships where it needs them most. Wydra's plan to serve nonkosher as well as kosher food aboard the Shalom to broaden the ship's appeal brought...
...point morals. Certainly Robert Murphy was in a position to do so. For two decades his duties took him to the centers of crisis: North Africa, where he laid the groundwork for the U.S.-British landings; Berlin during the airlift; Belgrade, Panmunjom, the Middle East, London during the Suez crisis. But for the most part, Murphy was an implementer, not a maker, of policies. His qualities were composure under fire, persuasiveness and an encyclopedic grasp of detail...
Macmillan's departure coincides with a low point in the fortunes of his Conservative Party. Yet most of the goals Macmillan set himself on entering 10 Downing Street were resoundingly achieved. Since succeeding luckless Anthony Eden after the 1956 disaster of Suez, Macmillan has aimed at 1) recementing the Anglo-American alliance, 2) easing the cold war, 3) freeing the African continent, and 4) obtaining Britain's entry into the European Common Market...
