Which represents the true 1970s: Peter Bogdanovich or Peter Brady? Chinatown or Hong Kong Phooey? Was the decade a wacky jag of smiley faces and bell-bottoms or a daring heyday of nonconformism and creativity? You can decide this month when the two 1970s duke it out in two weirdly complementary cable specials...

...well for long. I was appalled at the controversial, risky stocks that began popping up in the stock portion of my account. (Do Tyco and WorldCom ring a bell?) I opted out of this part of the portfolio and requested more input into the selection of my fixed-income investments. Then the unthinkable happened. I was dropped! I was told that our relationship wasn't "philosophically consistent." Actually, I think I asked too many questions--like, What is this extra $50,000 doing in my account?

By the 1960s, Bell argued, "the cultural justification of capitalism [had] become hedonism, the idea of pleasure as a way of life." This magazine agreed.

...precision, 'a pace behind her, old chap, a pace behind her.' He is mainly visible as the gracious host while his wife conducts affairs of state. At 74, he seems eminently fit for the job: the back is still ramrod straight, the step springy, the mind clear as a bell. What keeps him in such excellent fettle? 'Cigarettes and gin,' chuckles Denis. His almost flawless public performance is all the more admirable for hiding his true nature: short-fused, outspoken, archconservative ... When he is not busy escorting his wife, he can frequently be spied on the exclusive golf course...
