...nine strategically placed stations, the show covers the U.S. during the sleeping hours like-well-a blanket. Last year 20 million Americans tuned in, many of them every night. Besides having Boudoir Bob, the show's Hallmark is that it plays classics and pop standards that appeal to affluent, educated audiences more than do the big-beat or hot-line interviews on competing stations. A market survey showed that 60% of the listeners were late-working students, technicians, professional men and executives-just the kind of people who most use airlines...
...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...

Today, just when the affluent society should be on the verge of providing every American with as much or as little privacy as he chooses, there is more justified alarm over the state of privacy than at any time in U.S. history...
Sheer Frustration. Unlike the affluent and aggressive contact men maintained in Washington by business and labor, the discreet university lobbyists are less concerned with shaping new legislation than with helping their schools take advantage of laws already on the books. Typical of these college representatives is Mark Ferber, 36, a Ph. D. in political science from U.C.L.A., who represents the nine campuses of the University of California. Ferber defines his job as mainly "just reading bills and advising the university on what effect they will have." Rowan Wakefield, who represents the State University of New York and its 58 branches...
