Rockefeller is the weakest link in the well-oiled New York Republican chain. He has tried to attach himself to the rising Lindsay star, much to the disgust of many of Lindsay's backers. (His chief effort--a Newsweek article signed by Rockefeller sycophant Emmett Hughes--tried to give the Governor credit for Lindsay's decision to run.) All of Rockefeller's labors are only casting a very dark shadow over whatever distant light may be shed by the Lindsay star: for the one fact that can explain the byzantine machinations of New York politics in the past year...
...three-is in a good enough economic position for card ownership. Thomas W. Gormly, senior vice president of the Pittsburgh National Bank, predicts a new era of credit-card merchandising, believes that the U.S. is already a "long step toward a cashless and checkless society."

Morton D. May is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector of expressionist, impressionist, abstract and primitive art. He is also president and chief executive of the St. Louis-based May Co., the third largest U.S. retail chain (64 stores).

Aware that the May Co. ten years ago showed signs of a slowdown under a 22-man board that included 11 members over 65, May continually recruits younger executives, schools them in the company's "fashion image." The curriculum is intended to teach them taste in merchandising in the same sense that May applies it to art collecting. May's aim is to make his stores leading...
...feeler from Cefis was snapped up by Esso, which ranks third in Britain and was delighted to add AGIP to its 8,000-station chain. Esso agreed to pay $11 million for the chain, a sum that gave ENI a modest overall profit on its investment and last week earned Cefis the compliments of Italian businessmen for consummating un buonissimo affare. Besides removing one of Esso's competitors and restoring the chain to private enterprise, the deal also gives Esso precious locations that it can utilize in its battle with leading British Petroleum and Shell...
