...sleepy country town of 13,000; the next, a buzzing metropolis of 45,000. Saratoga natives, accustomed to this change which occurs annually with the opening, for the month of August, of the oldest and most glamorous U. S. racetrack, did not allow themselves to become perturbed by it last week. Not so the sparrows which nest in the elm trees that shake like huge dark fans over Saratoga's Broadway. Disturbed by lights that burned all night, roused by bookmakers who on the street below kept up a shrill chatter until long after midnight, the birds chattered also...

Yet for nearly 50 years the zealous town selectmen have rigidly refused all requests to photograph it. Once 20 years ago, when this prohibition was briefly lifted, the selectmen who allowed new color plates to be made were defeated at the next election.

...Senator Glass had one swift surprise for the Administration?permission for commercial banks to resume underwriting of securities. Divorce of deposit banking and securities selling was almost the first New Deal financial reform. The Glass provision would not allow banks to return to the retailing of securities through affiliates but it would allow them the profits of underwriting and wholesaling. Consequently shares of big Manhattan and Chicago banks soared on the news last week. One of the biggest beneficiaries would be J. P. Morgan & Co., which under the Banking Act of 1955 chose to surrender its commanding position in security...
