...conveyed of the Republican Party as the representative of Wall Street fat cats. "Mr. Nixon," he said, "would encourage those same speculative excesses that once before plunged this country into chaotic depression and brought vast losses to investors." In general, Humphrey worked hard to stress the traditional bread-and-butter issue, trying to revive past fears that a Republican Administration would "take it away." But Nov. 5 is probably too close for any of this to hurt Nixon appreciably. For one thing, it became clear that Hubert Humphrey's manful efforts to create a semblance of unity...
...more practical matters, let the record show that this reviewer found both movies atrociously filmed in ugly color, edited with the precision of a two-year-old turned loose with a jar of peanut butter, and inadequately acted by teen-agers who plainly considered themselves better than the people they were portraying. Brooke Bundy, the pretty blonde in Young Runaways, appears to have too many teeth, and Leigh Taylor-Young, the pretty blonde in I Love You, Alice B.

Humphrey aides profess to note a growing sense of disquiet in the nation over Nixon's above-the-battle posture. Moreover, the Vice President's emphasis on the old theme that the Democrats bring prosperity and the Republicans take it away may by paying off; bread and butter is still a tasty dish.

Nearly 30% of the profits of German farming comes from milk products. Common Market regulations allow the government to support the price of butter at the 75-cents-a-pound level. This means in effect that the dairy must buy all the milk a farmer delivers, then pass on the surplus butter to the government stockpile at the minimum price. Such assurances have made the German farmer even more attached...
...buying up one new company after another. Since then, Susskind has been putting somewhat less emphasis on culture, and Simon has become in creasingly interested in it. Stung by a number of critically acclaimed produc tions that proved to be financial flops, Susskind has expanded into bread-and-butter situation shows, notably NBC's Get Smart series. Simon has consol idated the bulk of his holdings - Hunt Foods, McCall Corp. and Canada Dry Corp. - into a $1-billion-a-year opera tion, now devotes much of his time to collecting art and serving as a Uni versity of California...
