What did not subside was the suddenly overwhelming pressure on Rockefeller. Upon landing in Washington minutes after the Romney announcement, Rocky was engulfed in a fog bank of conflicting advice from fellow Republicans. Those already sympathetic to him-Senators Jacob Javits, Hugh Scott, Edward Brooke and a chorus of others -counseled action. The general feeling was that Romney's departure had removed the last shred of justification for Rockefeller's judicious isolation. Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon spoke for most of them: "He can't play coy. If he's going anywhere, he should...
Quite a few of these American males are suffering from what Sociologist Leon Bramson calls the "Charley Gray syndrome," after the hero of John Marquand's novel Point of No Return. Having finally won his bank vice-presidency, Gray finds it meaningless-and far worse, he has no alternatives. As Sociologist Bramson sees it: "We have made it virtually impossible for people to try different kinds of careers in middle life without extraordinary risks." With depressing finality, Novelist F.

Colescott's version breaks the bank heist into a series of movie stills, evokes Dillinger's gaiety and derring-do with "Fun" lettered in a corner and a half-naked doll, with a star in her navel, strumming a banjo-ukulele...
Involvement with city ills has already fired considerable debate among businessmen-and the riot report seems certain to sharpen the argument. Chairman George Champion of Chase Manhattan Bank decries "mass do-gooding at the expense of stockholders." Says Chairman Birny Mason Jr. of Union Carbide: "I'm afraid we're going through another phase of promises that will lead to disillusionment." Still, such analysts of the urban crisis as Director Pat Moynihan of the Harvard-M.I.T. Joint Center for Urban Studies (TIME cover, July 28) give corporations high marks for their active concern.
