...expected to remain so. Not surprisingly, they are daughters of the leadership-girls whom the Chinese, in pre-Communist days, called "gold boughs and jade leaves," or descendants of noble houses. Like the rest of China's 375 million women, they adhere to austere and sexless blue-uniformity in public. There the similarity, and the egalitarianism, ends. In the plush suburban villas that Peking's leaders call home, they enjoy servants...
...thing, today's young cyberneticists tend to anthropomorphize their tools. Tom Allison, 25, a Coca-Cola executive in Atlanta, is convinced that his computer is feminine. "She keeps cutting me off at the most inopportune times," he complains. A programmer in Los Angeles will not feed blue cards into his computer-he feels she deserves pink. Seymour Greenfield, a research manager for the military DRC-44 computer program at Dynamics Research Corp. near Boston, complicates the matter further, " I hired everyone building the computer by the zodiac signs under which they were born," he says...
...union members are turning to Wallace, with 50% declaring for him in the South, 12% in the rest of the nation. Humphrey's labor support has fallen correspondingly, to only 42%. Since Gallup began surveying union people in 1936, no other Democrat has ever done so poorly with blue-collar workers.

But a substantial number of those votes might have gone to Nixon this year because of the "law-and-order" issue, and now may be denied him. In any case, despite signs of rising Wallace strength in Missouri, Indiana, Nebraska, Kentucky, Montana and Wyoming, there is only...
Building on Blue Chips. His mode of departure reflected his belief in calm continuity. Well aware that ad agencies often slow down when their bosses grow old and linger too long, Strouse began planning his own retirement three years ago. He tapped Dan Seymour, a one time soap-opera actor who revitalized J. Walter's television department, to become president. Now Seymour takes full charge of a shop that, thanks to Strouse, is not about to lose its No. 1 ranking. Billings have more than doubled since Strouse was named president in 1955, and currently exceed $600 million. With...
