...considered an acting career, starred in the segment. And waiting in the wings is Spiro Agnew. The Vice President will introduce Red Skelton's new fall show on NBC. Lest he carry this show-business gig too far, Agnew then nixed a Laugh-In stint-even though his boss did a turn with Rowan and Martin in pre-presidential days...
...over in talking to the press after a meeting between Nixon and his economic-policy quadriad at the Western White House in San Clemente. Even Walter Heller, former head of the Council of Economic Advisers, speaking at week's end to a Texas seminar organized by his old boss, Lyndon Johnson, conceded that "the worst is over."

Reflecting the Boss. A promising new area for growth opened up last spring when the American Association of Advertising Agencies agreed to permit its members to own media.

Most of the photographic, writing and editing talent for Billy will be drawn from the W.R.G. staff. Lois Holland Callaway's ventures are in keeping with the canny flamboyance of its president...
Secrecy for Customers. The idea for what is now called the "Asian dollar market" originated with Johan D. van Oenen, former boss of Southeast Asian operations for the California-based Bank of America. His plans found favor with Singapore officials, who saw a chance for their island nation to play the sort of international banking role in the Orient that Switzerland plays in Europe. In 1968, the Singapore government repealed all exchange restrictions and interest-withholding taxes on deposits from foreigners, and promised to keep the identity of the depositors secret. Such secrecy is important to the Overseas Chinese...
