...1930s, social protest was second nature to the politically conscious artist. In the 1960s, instead of editorializing in melodramatic imagery, the artist is apt to employ the more oblique weapons of abstract parody and wit. His sentiments are no less angry on that account-as could be seen last week in Chicago. At the Feigen Gallery, 47 artists displayed acid valentines to Mayor Richard J. Daley, 21 of them composed especially for the show...
Other experiences have made Sneed cynical. When Unity was establishing itself, Only one-tenth of one percent of the corporations invited to be stockholders actually responded. John Hancock, American Mutual, and Liberty Mutual are among those that did. The main task facing the bank now is soliciting accounts. Response, generally, has been good, with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts placing $360,000 in Unity last week to become the largest single depositor. Previously, the United Front Foundation had the largest account. Brandeis, Andover Theological School, Northeastern University, and Boston College have all become depositors and M.I.T. is a stockholder...
...most fully automated banking systems in the world. Called Giro-the word comes from the Greek gyros, meaning circle-the system will circulate funds within the country's huge post-office network.

He wants to be the superhero, cheered on by adoring crowds -if not on the football field, where his father had excelled, then as a famous writer. He sees himself conquering the citadel of New York, luxuriating in money and success. The woman of his dreams has breathtaking legs, a snub nose, a Vassar girl's sophistication and the idealistic innocence of Doris Day about to be seduced by none other than Freddy Exley of Watertown...
...avoid this effect, and thus make the fall of the three all the more dramatic, Senelick is forced to mute the first act. Unfortunately Leantio, the merchant's clerk who loses his high-born bride on account of his stupid, Ben Franklin punctilliousness, has some of his best and most revealing lines in the opening moments: losing them destroys some of the irony so carefully worked into succeeding scenes. But as Kenny McBain went at the role rather gingerly throughout all of last night's performance, Leantio may be better served when he settles into the part...
