...nominations to the council have been made by council members themselves, then routinely approved by acclamation on the floor of labor's biennial convention; council members could thus perpetuate themselves in of fice. Beginning with the convention in San Francisco next December, executive council nominations will be made from the floor, then voted on. The change not only ensures the end of self-perpetuation but serves tactful notice to many members that they can either resign gracefully before December or be rudely ousted at the convention. Had he received any resignations from members lately, someone asked George Meany. Replied...
...place in the preview week before the opening, when critics, dealers, collectors and artists live exclusively on cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and art-world politics. With 5,000 works from 54 nations spread along some five miles of walls in an Oscar Niemeyer-designed pavilion, Brazil's biennial provides plenty to politic about...
Bertelsmann grew so fast that a few years ago it wobbled. "Our old patriarchal form of management collapsed," says Mohn. "We were practically forced into decentralization."

Last week German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard received French President Charles de Gaulle in Bonn as the treaty prescribes-but De Gaulle clearly went only...
...hottest show in Paris last week played at neither Le Sexy nor at the uproarious Crazy Horse Saloon, but out at vintage Le Bourget Airport, where Charles Lindbergh landed his Spirit of St. Louis in 1927. It was the 26th biennial Paris Air Show, the world's biggest, and the heat was caused by the jockeying to win competitive honors. Nearly everyone who counts in world aviation was there, partly to impress potential customers and partly to size up rivals and their hardware. Serious buyers from more than 100 nations and squadrons of national officials, including 58 junketing...
