...comment, which is often echoed in the Communist world today, will not help his followers explain Wall Street's reaction to the Viet Nam Moratorium. A sea of demonstrators poured into Wall and adjoining streets, crowding them so tightly that people could hardly move. Hundreds of custom-tailored bankers and brokerage-house partners joined their clerks and college students in a peace march, braving the jeers of hard-hatted steamfitters who tried to stage a counterdemonstration. The peace marchers jammed into a memorial service at Trinity Church, where Investment Banker Andre Meyer, Ogden Corp. Chairman Ralph Ablon and other...
...THINK I'm happier knowing that 6 Divinity Ave. wasn't always the CFIA. The University began its Semitic collection in 1889. In 1902. a naturalized banker named Jacob Schiff put up the money for the museum, which opened in 1903.

West Germany has not had an inspirational leader since Adenauer, or Britain since Churchill; a contest between Labor Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Tory Leader Ted Heath would involve a choice of Yorkshire pudding or boiled potatoes...
...matters that Kennedy was right the first time. Nobody expects that the U.S. can defeat inflation by conventional means unless it accepts at least a 4% unemployment rate, and if inflation continues to soar, the Administration may indeed be forced to introduce controls. But Kennedy, a longtime top Chicago banker with no previous experience in sensitive public office, has not yet learned that a Cabinet member's pronouncements are automatically taken as seriously considered policy. Nor has he learned to dodge a potentially explosive question. While even his critics applaud Kennedy's innate decency and amiability, his gaffes...
