...Your devastating review of Giacomo Joyce [Jan. 19] recalls my own "quarrel" with this document a few months ago, after a one-page facsimile from it, with a dramatic account of its discovery, appeared on the front page of the New York Times. I read the article and telephoned the writer to tell him that in my opinion the script was definitely not that of James Joyce. I have handled scores of letters and manuscripts by Joyce, but not a single one looked anything like the facsimile reproduced in the New York Times...
...Visconti himself was bumped into second place by Tim Wood, 19, a fellow Detroiter who barely made the U.S. national team last year. For this year's competition, Wood dropped out of school, spent seven hours a day practicing the compulsory "school figures" (loops, brackets, circle eights) that account for 60% of the score. So precise were his blade marks that he led the field when the time came for the free skating, at which Visconti excels...
Many businessmen still flatly refuse to extend credit to anyone under 21, but the ranks of those willing to take the risk are swelling. And why not? Teen-age consumers not only account for an annual bonanza of some $15 billion, but putting them on the credit rolls seems a good way to capture future customers.

Anxious to build up its junior clientele, Arizona's Valley National Bank has started offering its credit card to qualified teen-agers with ads that proclaim: "It's what is, baby...
...files," started modernizing Rollei's gothic production lines, and more than doubled the research budget to a current $875,000 a year. By telescoping Rollei's normal seven-year development period to two years, in 1966 the company was ready with two new cameras, which now account for half its sales. One of the cameras, a 35-mm. model priced at $190 and not much bigger than a pack of king-size cigarettes, has endeared itself to the pros who, as Peesel says, can "carry it even in white tie and tails." Though the new, highly sophisticated...
