...Wall Street expected, the 10.2 million shares of Ford stock put on sale for $64.50 by the Ford Foundation promptly "went out the window" on F-day. The seven syndicate managers (Blyth & Co., Inc.; First Boston Corp.; Goldman, Sachs & Co.; Kuhn, Loeb & Co.; Lehman Bros.; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Beane; White, Weld & Co.) each got 307,500 shares.

Mitchell refused to declare himself bankrupt, as an investment banker (Blyth & Co.) made a startling financial comeback which enabled him to pay off his reported $12 million debts...
...sounds like the late hours of a Shriners' convention, i.e., fun in an overloaded fashion. Howard Keel, as the poet who goes from verse to better at the Wazir's court, cuts a tolerable fine figure in Mesopotamian laundry, and he sings like a baritone bulbul. Ann Blyth (see MILESTONES) is the girl and Vic Damone the boy. The music is borrowed din from Borodin, and except for Stranger in Paradise, it sounds like routine Tin Pan Allah. The incidental decorations are eye-filling, though-particularly an albino peacock that holds his end up with more style than...
