Over many months, the American retributive gland has grown more and more inflamed. A few weeks ago, Robert Jones, 36, stood before the bench in a Chicago courtroom, having just been sentenced to 100 to 300 years in prison for murdering two brothers in a robbery. A voice boomed: "I hope you die in prison!" It was not one of the victims' family or the prosecutor who cried out; it was the judge...
...from 50% to 75%-meaning that buyers would have to put up at least $750 for every $1,000 stock purchase. The Big Board said it was acting "to insure the protection of public investors and the maintenance of a fair and orderly market." One firm, A.G. Becker of Chicago, banned all credit on five particularly jittery stocks. These moves depressed the gaming issues, but not for long. Indeed, the gambling-stock rebound last week helped spark a broad market rally. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 28 points, closing...
...instant advice and reassurance. There is even a repair service to board up victims' broken windows and fix damaged locks. Since 1974, the National District Attorneys Association has sponsored victim-witness assistance programs through 68 offices all over the U.S. Other groups, including the Junior League in Chicago, have pitched in, providing encouragement to witnesses.

To Germans, the 110-story double monolith looming over Lower Manhattan is a tongue twister: Das Welthandelzen-trum. The translation is of more than casual interest to the Deutsche Bank of Frankfurt, which in terms of assets (about $50 billion) ranks fourth in the world, after San Francisco's Bank of America, New York's Citibank and France...
...years, Giulini has refused musical directorships of orchestras because of his intense dislike for the attendant administrative and social duties. In America, he has been known primarily for his 23 years as a guest conductor with the Chicago Symphony. Los Angeles won him by offering freedom from paper work, a lighter-than-usual five-month load, and a blank check. A tall, slim, aristocratic man, Giulini is the rare maestro who is truly loved by his musicians. They may grumble about his perfectionism or his occasionally erratic tempi. But, says Victor Aitay, Chicago's co-concertmaster, "he approaches music...
