...that were given to me," the late David Smith once said. The brawny, Indiana-born metal worker was perhaps the most restless as well as the most gifted sculptor of an impatient nation and century. For 25 years, he labored to populate the fields of his "sculpture farm" near Bolton Landing in upper New York State with a dozen different species of welded totems, signposts, sentinels and ti tans. He was still pursuing at least five different styles when the pickup truck he was driving veered off the road and he died...
...first efforts looked like so many small Picassos. Later, they also began to resemble the small, stage-like Surrealist compositions of Alberto Giacometti, whose work Smith admired because it also incorporated the Freudian dream imagery so dear to Joyce. In 1940 Smith moved to Bolton Landing, and during the war years, he spent most of his time at his welder's trade, working on locomotives and tanks at a nearby plant. But by 1945, he had accumulated an exquisite series of small, neo-Surrealistic bronze-and-steel tabletop tableaux. Both Home of the Welder and Reliquary House are rich...
...taxes in 1968. Last year, spurred by acquisitions, Clubman's revenues leaped from $1,100,000 to $37 million, while profits reached $1,300,000. On the London market, its shares rose by 358% last year, making Clubman's Britain's second fastest growth stock (after Bolton Textile Mill Co., a firm that manufactures paper underpants).

Thomas Shaw, a Lutheran and Avalon's marketing director, piously posits that "religion is in such a state that people will welcome anything to get back to the Bible." Cadaco's executive vice president, Douglas Bolton, believes that "during times of national stress, there is an upsurge in quasi-religious activities." At any rate, the possibilities of additional religious games are intriguing. There might be Inquisition, for instance, in which the loser would go directly to hell and bypass purgatory. Or, in a more contemporary vein, there might be Vatican Council ("Don't Cross Ottaviani") or Encyclical...
...Even in those few districts where seats did change party hands, the results seemed to depend far more on individual personalities and local conditions than on broad national issues?Viet Nam, law and order, inflation, the Negro revolution and the white backlash. In Ohio, for example, Republican Frances P. Bolton was defeated by Democratic Representative Charles A. Vanik. The deciding factor was Mrs. Bolton's age: she is 83, Vanik 55. In Missouri, Democrat James W. Symington, 41, handsome former chief of protocol for the U.S. State Department, took the suburban St. Louis County district that Republican Thomas Curtis left...
