Promoter Shapiro, once a Philadelphia lawyer noted for proving a ship unseaworthy because one of its mates had malaria, got into the teaching business because he was apparently avid for audiences bigger than juries. He now tours 14 Michigan cities with 53 programs for practicing lawyers. Delighted to be called "dean," Shapiro is wont to order lawyer-aides to pick up his children at school, or require them to don white coats and serve cocktails. He first-names Michigan Supreme Court justices, tells everyone who will listen that "educators should get off their duffs," papers the country with lawyer-luring...
DECEMBER'S CHILDREN (London), which includes the hit single Get Off of My Cloud, is another Rolling Stones foray into rhythm and blues. There are signs no bigger than an LP's band that the Stones are softening. As Tears Go By is a weeper that Bobby Vinton might sing, though not so well as Mick Jagger, who is actually accompanied by violins...

Wearied by the iron regimen and routine of orchestra life, front-rank instrumentalists have defected by the dozens to the concert circuit and university faculties. Money is not the issue. They are not looking for bigger paychecks; they want a richer musical life. How to satisfy this craving is one of the principal problems facing today's big orchestras...
...industry, where the big get bigger and the small tend to get squeezed out, the Studebaker Corp. in 1963 tried a brave departure. Bathed in $80 million of red ink after eight years of declining sales and expensive overhead at its antiquated South Bend plants, it moved assembly lines across the border to a more efficient subsidiary in Hamilton, Ontario. In its U.S. operation, the company needed to sell 115,000 cars a year to break even, was falling short of the mark. In Canada, with lower production costs, the make-money sales point was 20,000 cars a year...
