...Commerce collects on trade, inflation, retail sales and other matters. As a student, Slater wanted to become a physicist, but was told by a professor that "women just did not go into physics." After graduating as a history major from Oberlin College and marrying (her husband is a program analyst for the National Science Foundation), Slater decided to enter a field that would lead to Government work, and economics looked right. She finally earned a Ph.D. in economics after a twelve-year slog of night school at American University. In 1967 she joined the staff of the CEA, then moved...
Milk, a native of New York who moved to San Francisco as a financial analyst in 1969 and later opened a successful camera shop, had been very frank about his homosexuality. At his swearing-in ceremony as supervisor last January, after other officials had introduced their wives, he had presented Jack Lira, 24, as "my lover-my partner in life." Lira committed suicide three months ago in a state of depression.

...this year are running 23% over last year's record $1.6 billion. Costume jewelry has become Avon's fastest-growing line, from nothing in 1970 to $260 million last year. Avon does not intend to abuse the Tiffany name in flogging its own cheaper wares. Says John Riedy, an analyst at Drexel, Burnham, Lambert: "That would be like putting a Rolls Royce label on a Pinto." Instead, the company plans next year to test-market a whole new line: door-to-door vitamins...
