...stopped in at Chicago's Conrad Hilton Hotel recently, exactly eight years after the Democratic National Convention. The Yippies and their banner--a Vietcong flag--were noticeably absent. In their stead was another party and another banner: the American Independent Party and its emblem, a large American eagle--made of styrofoam...
RESTLESS RAY. As Ray Banner sees it, there are two reasons for his success: he started with nothing, and he is short. A thin, brown-haired version of Mickey Rooney, he could not do much about his stature (5 ft. 6 in.). But at 51, Banner has parlayed fast-food franchises into a personal fortune of $25 million. From his headquarters in Nashville, Tenn., he runs 231 Shoney's Big Boy outlets in eleven states. He also owns the 19 Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises for central Kentucky and is starting new chains of his own. Most promising: Captain...
...conservatives convened under the banner of the American Independent Party, a coalition of right-wing forces that claims roughly 1 million followers and has put forward national candidates since 1968. In that year Alabama's George Wallace led the A.I.P. to its greatest electoral success, garnering an impressive 9.9 million votes-nearly 14% of the total cast. But Wallace dropped out of the 1972 race after his near-fatal wounding in Laurel, Md., and was not involved with the organization this year.

Automakers are looking forward to a banner year in 1977 with GM Chairman Thomas Aquinas Murphy last week predicting that car and truck sales will surpass the record 14.6 million of 1973. One reason: GM is unveiling a line of cars that will average 18.3 miles per gallon, or 10% more than the '76 models. As expected, GM also announced price increases, averaging about 6%, that will push the price tag for a typical car to about $6,000 (the average 1967 GM auto cost...
...politician who happens to be in politics. Buckley insisted his move was selfless -intended to prevent a first-ballot victory and permit delegates bound to a candidate whom they did not favor to vote their convictions on subsequent ballots. When a scant twelve delegates rallied to his tardily raised banner, Buckley withdrew to concentrate on his reelection race. Mused New York G.O.P. Chairman Richard Rosenbaum: "He got out just in time." Buckley stands to have trouble in November beating either Pat Moynihan or Bella Abzug, who are contesting for the Democratic nomination. If he loses and the Ford-Dole ticket...
