...help replenish their hard-pressed party coffers, Arizona Republicans and Democrats have rallied around a mutually beneficial scheme for getting the wage-earner financially involved in politics. Under their Pre-Authorized Deduction program (PAD), a contributor gives his bank the right to tap his checking account for a specified amount. The bank charges 3 1/2? per deduction, and the balance is forwarded to the contributor's party. Regular "stockholder reports" will be published tallying how much money was received from the plan and how it was spent. Most politicians think the checkoff system will have broad appeal, attracting...
...kind of a game, see. You've already bought a $1,000,000 de Havilland private jetliner and a $600,000 yacht and a $305,000 diamond, and you" bank account shows more zeroes than a no-hitter. So what do you buy next? A whirlybird, that's what. The $500,000 French-made Alouette helicopter made a cute little present from Liz Taylor to Hubby Richard Burton. Then they hustled on up to Sotheby's in London, where Dickie knocked down a Picasso for $21,600 and Liz wigwagged the winning...
...uncommercial making came in 1964 in a new Alka-Seltzer series. For years, "Speedy Alka-Seltzer," the cartoon imp with a tablet for a hat, insulted audiences by pushing the fizz as though he were conducting a Romper Room class. Then the Jack Tinker agency took over the account and decided to try for a touch of wit and realism: a film showing nothing more than a quick succession of people's midriffs being prodded and pushed, or just merrily jouncing along. The message was: "No matter what shape your stomach's in, when it gets out of shape, take...
Initially, Lockheed plans to produce and sell the L-500 as an all-cargo plane only-but the economics should be equally dramatic. Airlines presently account for less than 1% of all North Atlantic freight traffic, but have been making encouraging inroads on ocean shipping on certain types of goods-no-tably clothing. The L-500's huge payload in its 121-ft.-long cargo area would enable airlines to carry freight for as little as 2? per ton-mile, low enough to give surface shipping a great deal of competition on a broader range of cargo...
...menhirs belong to the period 1400 B.C. to 1200 B.C.- at least seven centuries before the golden age of Greece or the Etruscans. Earlier neolithic sculpture is totemic in nature, but Corsican menhirs, Grosjean noted, are "realistic and naturalistic, not stylized like Egyptian statues, and not divinities." To account for them, Grosjean has had to reconstruct an obscure artistic period. His starting point was a mysterious Mediterranean "People of the Sea," who left dome-shaped temples on Corsica, Sardinia and elsewhere in the Mediterranean. Identified as "Shardanes," they appear on an 1190 B.C. bas-relief in an Egyptian temple...
