...character failed to come across on the air, it might have been partly because Milton is almost never at home. When he is, home is a $4,000-a-year duplex in Manhattan's fashionable East 80s, bric-a-brackish with so much glass in tables and on walls that Milt meets himself every time he turns around...
...heal a split in his own Liberal Party. The result was that in last year's elections the Liberals (whose two candidates polled a majority) were soundly defeated. But not even Colombian Liberals set up an opposition cry when their leader was presented for the $18,000-a-year job (tax free) as head of the Pan American Union. Lleras' election was unanimous...
Elgin hopes that the spring will help it recapture a big chunk of the $400,000,000-a-year U.S. watch business from the fiercely competitive Swiss. Under President Thomas Albert Potter, 63, Elgin has come a long way since he left Quaker Oats Co. in 1932 to take over the depression-sick company. By 1940 Elgin was the biggest U.S. watch company.

At Manhattan's Macy's, one excited employee hailed it as "the biggest thing since wired brassieres." A stubble-bearded conservative quipped...
McCloy liked the president's title and the $30,000-a-year tax-free salary; he was on the point of saying "I do." But, like other eligible candidates before him, he got nervous when he saw the bride's family. The Bank's twelve full-time executive directors wear the Bank's pants-like twelve mothers-in-law. The president (under the Bretton Woods regulations) does little more than take orders. If he wants to do anything on his own, he must dutifully explain all about it to the directors. Many people thought the president...
