...society is more affluent than ever, profiting not only from the large contributions of anonymous wealthy donors but from a spate of its own activities. Its budget in 1964 was about $3,200,000; this year it will probably be in the neighborhood of $6,000,000. Last year the society's 360 "reading rooms" sold about $4,000,000 worth of materials. In addition to books and pamphlets, the society publishes a monthly magazine called American Opinion, a monthly newsletter and a weekly Review of the News. It runs a speaker's bureau that has a roster...

Campus life is affluent and almost totally permissive, but pocked by student riots (wars). Under the shadow of EAT-ray (nuclear destruction), the campus is haunted by death and doubt, trembles on the edge of a new revelation. Some students seek revelation through existentialism, sex or student-unionism (Communism...
...rounds, the husband and his secretary are doing something in common that draws them intensively closer, whether it is planning an ad layout or drafting a new skyscraper. Assuming the girl is about 20 years younger than the man, she is apt to find him not only more affluent, but considerably more interesting company than the boys in her own age group. It is worth remembering that it was on the set of To Have and Have Not that Bogey, married and 44, and Betty, single and 19, fell in love...
