Wirtz, Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler, Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman and Poverty Boss Sargent Shriver are said to be anxious to leave the Government or to change jobs-though all may temporarily stay put now that Mc-Namara is leaving, simply to prevent the kind of revolving-door exodus that could hurt Lyndon Johnson in an election year...
Less Plausible. A closer look reveals the harsh realities. For all its outward appearance, East German Boss Walter Ulbricht's New Wall is even less passable-even, in fact, less plausible-than the crude barrier that first shocked the world six years ago. Ulbricht's new design (see diagram) has been conceived with chilling efficiency; to test it, the East Germans erected a prototype at an army camp, rounded up some of the country's best athletes and let them try to cross the barriers without interference. None could makeit. Ulbricht has already completed nearly a third...
When United Auto Workers Boss Walter Reuther emerged from a conference with his top aides one day last week, Detroit expected to hear the ritualistic announcement of a strike dead line at General Motors Corp. Instead, Reuther slyly proclaimed what he called a "target date" of Dec. 14. Only if there is no settlement by that time, explained Walter, would an actual dead line be set - for some time after the first of next year. Reason for the move: by avoiding an early strike, the union's 372,000 G.M. workers will be assured of their two paid holidays...

"Pictures," said Abe to his brothers one day, "ought to be a pretty good business to be in." So in New Castle, Pa., in 1906, the sons of a Polish immigrant butcher bought themselves a nickelodeon theater and by 1917 were cranking out their own silent films, soon moved to New York and then to Hollywood, where the saga went on until 1956, when they sold their controlling interests in Warner Bros...
Part of the reason this high-pressure campaign has stymied turns on Ritter himself. Ritter reminds one of a Tammany Hall boss, a wheeling, dealing politician who knows the workings of the OAS inside out. But many feel he doesn't have the stature needed to put life and drive into an organization which today suffers badly from its own impotence and lack of imagination. Privately, most of his supporters are said to admit Ritter's failings, and two Central American republics, El Salvador and Guatemala, abandoned him somewhere during the four ballotings. It is these two votes that would...
