Slightly to the left of Brown, Wilson, who needed Brown's support to keep the party together, kept him on as his deputy leader. It was Brown, not Wilson, who carried the brunt of Labor's daily campaigning in the 1964 and 1966 elections, making ten to a dozen speeches a day in town after town. When Labor won in 1964, Brown was given the Department of Economic Affairs, quickly proved the most effective reorganizer the department had seen in years. He was brutal, ruthless and demanding-but he did what had to be done. He developed Labor...
...though J. Edgar Hoover rises early to cook Sunday-morning popovers, Almaden Vineyards President Louis Benoist perfects his crab gumbo, or Actor Burgess Meredith spends hours concocting his "All Mighty Salad," the brunt of cooking and planning still remains the woman's task.

Though it won't be so, it will seem to the public that Harvard, and not the School Committee, is presenting a particular speaker...
...market is bad enough. Since February, the industrial average has declined on 80 trading days v. gains on only 53; during the first 20 Big Board trading days in August, 15 ended up with the index off. Where the blue-chip stocks had been taking the brunt of the beating since February, last week glamour stocks inevitably began to follow them down. Xerox lost 15⅝ in a day, Fairchild Camera fell 14⅜, and Motorola on the final day of trading plunged 23¾ points, from 182 to 158¾. In all during the week, 973 stocks...
