Donner reaches G.M.'s mandatory retirement age of 65 this week. If he follows company custom, he will give up his chairmanship by month's end, but he will probably keep a seat on G.M.'s board and a place on the all-powerful finance committee. It is almost taken for granted that Donner's successor will be the current president and chief operating officer, 60-year-old James M. Roche (TIME cover, May 20, 1966). Most of the speculation, therefore, swirls around the identity of the man who will replace Roche...
...Roger M. Kyes, 61, Edward N. Cole, 58, Semon E. ("Bunky") Knudsen, 55, and Edward D. Rollert, 55. On the basis of seniority, Russell, who has long been Donner's top financial aide, stands first in line. But since G.M.'s presidency ordinarily leads to the chairmanship, with at least three or four years in each post, Russell's age is counted against him.

...finale may be some kind of landmark in cinema typecasting, perhaps not unrelated to Frank Sinatra's new chairmanship of the American-Italian Anti-Defamation League. As Lee and his soulmate sister-in-law (Angie Dickinson) battle their way up through the syndicate hierarchy in pursuit of his $93,000, it turns out that the evil big shots seem neither to have been born in Sicily nor to be afflicted with five o'clock shadow, but bear such names as Brewster, Carter and Fairfax. The biggest mobster of them all (Carroll O'Connor) is downright refined. Arriving...
Though Anne's rise does not carry her to the chairmanship of a government agency, Miss Susann has made sure that Washington will not feel left out. The second heroine, a blonde sex-goddess called Jennifer North, wriggles from the clutches of a Spanish lesbian and divorces a retarded singing idol named Tony Polar to win the love of a senator named Win. Unfortunately, tragedy intervenes and Jennifer doses off a la Marilyn Monroe...
