Some bank. The bankbook is called The Semen Depositor's Handbook. Along with it comes a brown glass bottle, for deposits. "No appointment is necessary," says the handbook, adding, in capital letters, that "IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE EJACULATE SHOULD NOT BE OVER TWO HOURS OLD." Home collection, the booklet notes, is preferred, but the bank also maintains its own ejaculatorium in Manhattan (with, as Executive Vice President Dr. Jerome A. Silbert notes, "various levels of erotica to assist"). What do the bankers do with the deposits? They freeze them. Frozen assets, as it were...

Last week, when he announced plans to dispose of 900,000 of his 8,500,000 E.D.S. shares for more cash to finance Du Pont, the price fell 7¾ points, to 66.

To attack the Administration for provoking domestic unrest is to risk a backlash from those weary of dissent. Appealing to the voters' bankbook is never dangerous. The President understands this well. He believes one of the reasons he lost the 1960 election was that the Republicans had allowed the economy to slow down. But he remains convinced that he can control the economy by cutbacks in Government spending and tighter credit...
...cope with-abnormally heavy speculators. > Formalize the pool by giving it a formidable gold stock of its own for the first time. Until now each member nation has been billed monthly for gold that has been sold to meet speculative market demand. The new scheme might involve a "bankbook" arrangement under which members would deposit large amounts of gold with the pool-while continuing to count such gold in their own reserves...
