...toward corporate reorganizations, mergers and name changes. An example is the Sun Co., once known as the Sun Oil Co., a nearly century-old, publicity-shy Philadelphia family business. In the 1970s, the company decided to diversify and its image became hazy. In 1979, management asked the design firm Anspach Grossman Portugal (A.G.P.) to analyze the problem and give the new company a logo that would exude unity and strength...
...Organism and Sweet Movie, has run for cover to Sweden and emerged with this shaggy act of atonement. It is not his fault that he was seven years between pictures, or that his new one seems almost (Gasp!) normal in its story of yet one more mad housewife: Susan Anspach finds fear, loathing, debasement-in short, liberation-when she joins a carnal carnival of Slavic immigrants. Montenegro is a Laurel-and-Hardy jalopy of a film, putting along impudently and then suddenly stalling, out of everything but gall.

But the emotion this event releases in Moses gives the film an honest weight that is not burdensome or pretentious. At this midpoint, the production becomes serious without turning sober and without slackening its strong pace...
...first week on the counters, Anti-Monopoly sold more than 2,000 copies at $8.75 each. After 15,000 sets are purchased, Anspach will channel 5% of all profits into a special legal aid fund that he has set up for small companies victimized by conglomerates. If the fund produces the desired effect, executives of large, errant corporations may some day be forced to obey a command on the Anti-Monopoly board: "Go to court. The judge has called an extra session." Still, that is preferable to Monopoly's "Go directly to jail...
