...Accountant's Memory. The President has an accountant's memory for economic statistics, and he delights in exploiting the bullish ones in his speeches in a way that puts them onto Page One almost every day. In his speech to the Chamber of Commerce, he managed to mention 50 different statistics. Armed with figures on profits and take-home pay, Johnson has been using every possible chance to campaign against price and wage rises-gently warning businessmen that if inflation comes to eat away prosperity, they will have only themselves to blame...
Every chief executive takes pleasure in delivering good news to his stockholders-and the opportunity has rarely been better. Last week, in the largest concentration of the year, more than 100 U.S. companies held their annual meetings. The reports were overwhelmingly bullish, and many corporate chiefs echoed the forecast of Du Pont Chairman Lammot du Pont Copeland: "Our sales for 1964 will reach a record...

One of the sourdoughs, after snapping up a comely virgin for $33,000 on the Yukon's bullish bride market, even offers Bert the jus primae noctis.

Larry Blyden also shines as Dr. Mosk, the stethoscope-packing con man who masterminds Lahr's hoax...

"I met him at dinner one night," says one Chicago businessman, "and it took me all evening to discover that he ran Sears." Inside the company, Cushman is not so reticent. Unlike retired Predecessor Charles H. Kellstadt, whose job he took over two years ago, Cushman delegates responsibility liberally and treats subordinates genially, but keeps a cold eye on profit and loss reports. "Men, merchandise, methods and money...
