...fact, the only rooms that don't attract the traffic that moves steadily up and down the narrow staircases are those just inside the entrance, the information and ticket sales desks. The line for participation tickets--sold to graduate students and faculty members who want to use the facilities maintained by the College--is already six or seven people long, and the information desk is besieged with questions about available squash courts and swimming pools. These students are not Boylston Street regulars, on the whole; no one who is really interested in Harvard athletics is likely to stop in often...

Today there are so many deejays spinning vinyl that discotheque owners, to attract audiences, are starting to turn to the novelty of live groups. Says John Sassak, manager of the Poison Apple outside Detroit: "The attraction of discos now has to go beyond just music because every other guy has the same records...
Some brokers argue that Chemical's commissions are unrealistically low and that the bank will eventually be forced either to raise rates or get out of the retail stock-trading business. Others charge that the bank plans to use the service as a loss leader to attract depositors or, of even more concern, as a wedge to get back into the investment-banking business, from which all banks have been banned since the passage of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. Some reformers have argued for revision of that law to allow the creation of "financial supermarkets" that would...
