...Nixon inaugural medal shown at the bottom of the cover is the official medallion approved by the new President. The sculptor was Ralph J. Menconi, and the medal itself was struck by the Medallic Art Co. of New York. The three-quarter view of Nixon's face is a departure from the traditional presidential profile. The reverse side of the medal is also something of a novelty: instead of being the standard reproduction of the Great Seal of the United States, it is a sculptured rendering of the crewelwork seal that Julie Nixon gave her father as an election...
...live. Co-Op City is dense (200 people per acre). It is relentlessly ugly: its buildings are overbearing bullies of concrete and brick. Its layout is dreary and unimaginative. Right now, residents have to bus their kids to nearby schools and shop in a make-do supermarket on the bottom floor of a garage. Not a spadeful of dirt has yet been turned on a new subway line that will connect the project directly with New York City, of which it is supposed to be a vital part. Even worse, except for some projected excellent landscaping, there is little effort...
Deep Tsai. Eight funds actually declined in value. Among them was Gerald Tsai's $454 million Manhattan Fund. It rose 39% in 1967 but slumped nearly 7% in 1968-to wind up at the very bottom of the list.

...veterans know that there's bound to be a time when someone screams 'Close the watertight doors,' and another time when the sub plunges dizzyingly toward the bottom. Then it's going to be pretty rough surfacing through the ice. One final word: as you move about the ship, please try not to stumble over or stare into the Super Panavision equipment. You men may think it's a nuisance to have a wide-screen camera in such cramped quarters, but it's all part of our real mission-to convince those people...
PETER BOGDANOVICH'S Targets, a low-budget oddity of considerable merit, snuck into Boston last week on the bottom half of an exploitation bill at the Center. Paramount, the distributor, doesn't know how to handle the film--a realistic shocker about an All-American boy-turned-sniper on the rampage--and despite good reviews and box office on its initial theatrical engagements, they stuck a plea for gun control arbitrarily before the credits, then decided not to open the film at all. In the depths of his soul, film critic Bogdanovich probably doesn't care. After all, many films...
